Re: [gtkmm] Touch Screens

["Jeffrey S. Gavin" <jeff ezclick net>]

Leandro, Ian,

We are also using touchscreens for our application.  I found a consol  
ncurses calibration program that works well:

http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/X11/xutils/touchcal-0.2.tar.gz

I had to modify the makefile to get it to compile on Linux with ncurses, 
and the values it generated plugged into the /etc/X11/XF86Config and the 
touchscreen works fine.

Another quirk that I had was with the elographics_drv.o (since we were 
using elo touch screens).  For some reason we had to replace this file 
with one from an old redhat system in order to have it work correctly.  
I'm sure there is a simpler way to get it to work.

When our schedule permits I would like to write a calibration routine in 
gtkmm so that our customers can calibrate their own touchscreens 
easily.  Does anyone know of one that is out there?
