There are manufacturer-specified ranges for both ELO and Microtouch (though I don't know if they are using the resistive technology). They may be not perfectly precise but they are good enough for the precision of a finger touch - since the fingers are much bigger than pixels, you can't touch a particular pixel anyway. For ELO the range is around from 300 to 3700 I don't remember the exact numbers, for Microtouch it's from 0 to 16K. The drivers have the defaults compiled into them which can be changed from XF86Config. The problem is that the ELO driver has (had?) it's defaults set to 0-16K as well, so without an explicit setting in the config file it does not work in any useful manner. -SB >> -----Original Message----- >> From: Sergey Babkin [mailto:[email protected]] >> Sent: Saturday, May 21, 2005 2:52 AM >> To: [email protected] >> Subject: Re: Touch Input Driver port 3.3.6 -> 4.x >> >> >> Fred Gleason wrote: >> > >> > On Wednesday 18 May 2005 18:48, Quentin Olson wrote: >> > > I have the source for an old input driver that was >> written for XFree86 >> > > 3.3.6 that I would like to use under 4.x (4.5).
