Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!

The driver can also be optionally built as a module. + +This driver appears to be one of possible 2 Linux USB Input Touchscreen +drivers. Although 3M produces a binary only driver available for +download, I persist in updating this driver since I would like to use the +touchscreen for embedded apps using QTEmbedded, DirectFB, etc. So I feel the +logical choice is to use Linux Imput. + +Currently there is no way to calibrate the device via this driver. Even if +the device could be calibrated, the driver pulls to raw coordinate data from +the controller. This means calibration must be performed within the +userspace. + +The controller screen resolution is now 0 to 16384 for both X and Y reporting +the raw touch data. This is the same for the old and new capacitive USB +controllers. + +Perhaps at some point an abstract function will be placed into evdev so +generic functions like calibrations, resets, and vendor information can be +requested from the userspace (And the drivers would handle the vendor specific +tasks). + +ADDITIONAL INFORMATION/UPDATES/X CONFIGURATION EXAMPLE: + +http://groomlakelabs.com/grandamp/code/microtouch/ + +TODO: + +Implement a control urb again to handle requests to and from the device +such as calibration, etc once/if it becomes available. + +DISCLAMER: + +I am not a MicroTouch/3M employee, nor have I ever been. 3M does not support +this driver! If you want touch drivers only supported within X, please go to: + +http://www.3m.com/3MTouchSystems/downloads/ + +THANKS: + +A huge thank you to 3M Touch Systems for the EXII-5010UC controllers for +testing! |
