touchscreen

[ogoy]

i noticed there is little information on configuring touchscreens on fc4/fc5/fc6. has anyone successfully configured a wincor POS touchscreen device here? i've tried several configurations:

xorg disagrees with the following config:

Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "XFree86 Configured"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Touch0" "SendCoreEvents"

Identifier "Touch0"
Driver "mutouch"
Option "Type" "finger"
Option "Device" "/dev/ttyS1"
Option "MinX" "0"
Option "MaxX" "16383"
Option "MinY" "0"
Option "MaxY" "16383"
Option "BaudRate" "2400"
Option "HistorySize" "256"
EndSection

A lot depends on how the kernel is detecting your touchscreen. With the 2.6 kernel, some touchscreens (like mine) started being detected as a joystick. If that is the case with yours, take a look here: http://www.interstice.com/journals/Simon/20060413.html

I don't know if it will work with Fedora, but probably could be made to work without too much trouble.
