raspberrypi: add full support for "egalax" touchscreen #1040

Closed pascaltippelt closed 11 years ago

Adding full support for egalax touchscreens would make the openelec interesting for carpc solutions or any other projects with an touchscreen (egalax does not work now with rpy!) more info and driver for egalax: http://210.64.17.162/web20/eGalaxTouchDriver/linuxDriver.htm

I'm not a developer, but I think you're very inaccurate and and missing some details. First of all this isn't RPi specific, so a driver should be added to all targets.

Second, you should give some detail about the screen model and make you want to use. From my little knowledge (and googling skills) eGalax only makes the touch matrix (or whatever it's called), so you requesting to add only touch driver interface?

Third, If you're using an usb touch screen then my bet is that the screen incorporate a DisplayLink chip, if this is the case then no worry, I already opened an issue, https://github.com/OpenELEC/OpenELEC.tv/issues/280

Hello.

I bought me this product for my RasPiCar project.

Link: http://www.faytech.com/fileadmin/flyer/7inch_touch_monitor_flyer.pdf

The decisive criterion was the Linux -., And ARM support

Driver Link: http://www.faytech.com/fileadmin/driver/eGTouch_v2.5.2107.L-ma.tar.gz

Now to my concern.

I want to use OpenELEC as Operating System for my project and I need the support of the kernel for which the modules of the touch screen monitor is required. Read in the file: EETI_eGTouch_Linux_Programming_Guide_v2.5c.pdf, which is included in the driver package.

Would it be possible their own repository for the project RasPiCar to open?

About konstuktive posts I would be happy. :-)

greeting
