eGalax Inc. USB TouchController stops working when used a short time

[Aapo Rantalainen]

I'm using Ubuntu 11.10 on ExoPC notebook [https://launchpad.net/+hwdb/+fingerprint/dcc25227c08c2ff167970aa46306308d] which has touchscreen:

/dev/input/event5
   bustype : BUS_USB
   vendor : 0xeef
   product : 0x72a1
   version : 528
   name : "eGalax Inc. USB TouchController"
   phys : "usb-0000:00:1a.0-1/input0"
   uniq : ""
   bits ev : EV_SYN EV_KEY EV_ABS

Touchscreen is working (without multitouching). But when used a short time (1 minute to 1 hour) touchscreen is not responding any more. I can then attach USB-mouse and USB-keyboard to check system is still running. E.g. xev doesn't give any events from touchscreen then. Rebooting computer solves.

Aapo Rantalainen, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p xserver-xorg-input-evdev REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER

Please note, given that the information from the prior release is already available, doing this on a release prior to the development one would not be helpful.

Thank you for your understanding.
