BBB With Dell E2014T Multitouch Display

I’m running Angstrom with the stock 3.8.11 kernel.

I have a Dell E2014T connected via HDMI and USB to the BBB, and I want to try to get multitouch working. lsusb shows a Quanta device that disappears when I unplug the USB cable from the monitor.

Bus 001 Device 009: ID 0408:3025 Quanta Computer, Inc.

lsmod shows hidp, but no other hid modules. What I’m thinking is that I need to use the hid-multitouch driver, but it’s not included by default and is not in Angstrom’s repo (that I’ve found). So, I have 2 questions.

  1. Am I on the right track with the hid-multitouch driver module?
  2. If so, is it in the repo somewhere or will I need to compile it?

Thanks,

Jeremy

I’ve been looking at using this display, but from my research, there is not Linux driver for the multitouch sensor. You may want to contact Dell support and see if they have a Linux driver. I’d love to see this working.

Look at other howto’s on adding support for your (supported) panel.
