Bug Description

I'm trying to use Elo touch screen in my desktop with ubuntu 10.10 and i have weird behavior when i use et1937l sceen.

Calibration seems to look perfect but problem is with X and Y coordinates.
They are upside down.
I found few things in google about it and it didn't work.

I know i can change coordinates by
Quote:
Option "swapX" "on"
But when i do this, my screen goes crazy and mouse nearly don't work.

I found this:
Code:

Ubuntu 10.10:

 sudo nano /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/69-evtouch.conf
Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "Elo class"
        MatchProduct "Elo TouchSystems"
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
        Driver "evtouch"
        Option "minX" "530"
        Option "minY" "570"
        Option "maxX" "3500"
        Option "maxY" "3500"
        Option "swapY" "1"
EndSection

and i want only swap option in there but when i'm adding this file screen goes crazy again and mouse is jumping from one edge to other edge of a screen

I have 1935 screen and when i connect usb cable to same computer everything works well.

Seems to 1937 touchscreen hardware is not supported well in ubuntu.
 sudo nano /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/69-evtouch.conf

        Option "maxY" "3500"
        Option "swapY" "1"
EndSection

Anybody have any ideas what i can swap those coordinates to make it working?

hello,

I can't reproduce an error as this is happening straight away when screen is connected.
Btw some speed of resolving issue :) i have managed to fix it by:
xinput set-int-prop "Elo TouchSystems, Inc. Elo TouchSystems 2700 IntelliTouch(r) USB Touchmonitor Interface" "Evdev Axis Inversion" 8 1 1
But calibration is not correct and i can't find a tool for ELO touch calibration
Looks like Xorg.conf values are not read properly or some of them not read at all.

Evtouch is going to be removed from the archive starting in natty, closing bugs that become obsolete due to that. Use the 'evdev' driver for touchscreens.
