Ubuntu & TouchKit touchscreen driver

I am trying to get a Lilliput 7" 669GL Monitor with touchscreen going
with OpenCPN and Ubuntu 9.04 on the beagle-board but have not had any
luck with the touchscreen.

Has anyone had any luck with compiling and installing the TouchKit
driver for Ubuntu? Touchkit is the name of the driver when you
install on Windows, so I figured it was the same: http://www.touchkit.com/Drivers.htm.

I am using Beagleboard C4 and running Ubuntu as build on the
elinux.org/BeagleBoardUbuntu web site.

Do I need to rebuild the kernel with any other flags? Has anyone been
successful at this?

Thanks!

I think, that you can't use supplied drivers on Beagle. It's binary crap,
compiled for X86. You'll need to find out which protocol the touchscreen uses
and then look at Linux kernel at drivers/input/touchscreen/usbtouchscreen.c
and find out if it's supported. I've maybe same Lilliput 7" + LCD, but I don't
have a time to play with it now. So, good luck.

Hi dclap, I am also trying to run OpenCPN on an ARM chip by Tegra in a Trimslice computer. I have everything working except the touchscreen. Have you had any joy getting yours working?

Has this ever been solved? I have the same touchscreen and have never been successful in calibrating it.
