RE: Problem configuring Elo Touchscreen

Just as an FYI I found my problem. Various emails started pointing me to a
possible com port irq conflict.  So I started looking around to see how I
find out what the linux software thinks the com port 3 irq value is.  I was
finally able to find  a file in /proc/tty/driver/serial which showed that
linux thought my com port 3 irq value was 4, whereas my BIOS setting said it
was 5.  I was then able to change my BIOS to change the irq for com port 3
from 5 to 4 and it worked.

I have calibration problems now, but I think I can fix that.  Thank you all
very much for your help.

The file format for XF86Config and XF86Config-4 is different. So
renaming a XF86Config as XF86Config-4 is unlikely to work. I have
attached the config file which is working for me.  Use this config file
and replace the  video driver with the one you have . This  should work.
