RE: X with touchscreen monitors
by Daniel Siemens 24 Mar '06

24 Mar '06

The problem is not making it work with the X drivers on the system, it's making it into a product that you can deploy to an end user. This means a friendly calibration utility and configuration options tools. The free stuff from elotouch.com, the linux_public.zip file is woefully incomplete. I see you don't like 3M. Make a request for their source code, you will have to sign an NDA but with source they work pretty well. ________________________________ From: kclug-bounces(a)kclug.org [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of John Sent: Thursday, March 23, 2006 1:21 PM To: kclug(a)kclug.org Subject: Re: X with touchscreen monitors I have worked with the Elo drivers before. These days (considering you have a newer Elo touch) you use the drivers in X. You can find how to setup the drivers at: http://www.elotouch.com/support/linux.asp The newer versions of X (4.x.x) include some Elo drivers that should work. That is what Elo suggests using. Just look for the input driver as instructed and see if it works. Otherwise, I would look up the particular model of Elo and try googling for it from there. I'm glad you asked about Elo's instead of 3M touchscreens so I could keep my email message at a PG rating ;) -John Frakes unixengineer(a)earthlink.net -----Original Message----- From: Daniel Siemens Sent: Mar 23, 2006 12:28 PM To: kclug(a)kclug.org Subject: X with touchscreen monitors Does anyone have elo graphics touch screens drivers and touch screen calibration utility for 2.6 kernels. In particular CentOS 4.3, the comparable to RHEL 4, updates 3. I can make the touch screen work with the elographics X drivers but the right way is to use the package from elo which I have been unable to get from them. It's a kernel level driver and calibration tool. The package would likely be called elotouch-1.1somthiing.rpm based on the little that I know.

There is a HOW-To here: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Xorg_HDTV But, it appears they are having problems. You can view the Google of this page cache here: http://72.14.203.104/search?q=cache:JhTBaxwOTN8J:gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Xorg…

Well, have you tried (while connected to your HDTV: ~ # Xorg -configure ~ # X -config /root/xorg.conf.new If it works, copy the settings from the new xorg.conf to your current one. If your running Knoppix or Gentoo, you can always install ddcxinfo-knoppix to find out the HorizSync and VertRefresh. The sources may be available on the Knoppix site, but I run Gentoo so I can just: # emerge ddcxinfo-knoppix

7z compression
by Curt 22 Mar '06

22 Mar '06

Just downloaded a Gentoo based livecd that has XGL running on both gnome and kde.... Unfortunately, I can't seem to extract the iso image with either Ark, File Roller or Karchiver. I installed p7zip and using command line 7za I keep getting unsupported file type errors. I am unfamiliar with 7za and p7zip... Can someone offer info on how to extract this file? file name=RR64-Linux-3.0b1.iso.7z Thanks

Local prices regarding Cat5 runs
by David Ambs 22 Mar '06

22 Mar '06

How are local companies currently charging for running/terminating Cat5 cables? Is it on average a set price per drop/distance, or an hourly rate? What about customized work, such as any major fishing or such, any extra? I'm assuming materials are never included? Thanks -dave

http://www.law.duke.edu/cspd/comics/2006/ A comic that comments on the rights of fair use and parody within the copyright laws. It uses the example of an intended documentary on life in New York to examine the problems of copyrights and trademarks that can exist in the background of every scene. It is a must read for the budding film maker. Tux even makes an appearance on page 63. Can someone identify the bearded man next to him? I can't quite place him.

The only other 7z that I can think of is 7-zip, there is a command line version for Linux. Not sure why they would use it on a Linux distro iso, but you could try it. I got a source file for KISO in 7z format, but I haven't tried installing it yet. That is the only other place I've seen .7z used. http://www.7-zip.org/ >-----Original Message----- >From: On Behalf Of Curt >Sent: Sunday, March 19, 2006 7:12 PM > >Just downloaded a Gentoo based livecd that has XGL running on >both gnome and kde....
