Comment 44 for bug 227183

Hello,

I'm trying to get my penmount touchscren to work but it is just not getting detected.
I have one of those POS machines that are 100% VIA hardware. It comes with a DMC9000 touchscreen that is connected directly onto the mother board. It looks like a parallel port connector (definitely wider than how a serial port looks like). Every manual I have tells me that it is a RS-232 serial touch screen and uses COM5.

I have set up my serial ports with setserial for all 6 of my com ports. I have COM 5 at 19200 baud.
Kernel is compiled with penmount driver and it is loaded (as shown in lsmod) I have ttyS0 to ttyS5

When I run "pm-setup -s" it does not find my DMC9000 on ANY port.
I try cat /proc/bus/input/devices but I don't see my touchscreen there. Just emulated mouse and my keyboard.

I can't figure it out, I can't get this thing to get detected.

Anyone have any ideas on how to get it detected? or just something I have not tried.?
