[gentoo-user] Touchscreen does not react

Hi group,

I have a HP tx1000 with touchscreen.  In the forum I found that there is a chance to get the Touchscreen running with the new beta-version of the eGalax driver. (http://210.64.17.162/web20/TouchKitDriver/linuxDriver.htm)

The manual installation worked but when I try to callibrate the screen it does not react.

# grep EE /var/log/Xorg.0.log

No HID Touch Controlled Found!

Can anyone help me out, please?

Thanx,
JC

Please provide URLs by domain name, I will NEVER click on an IP based
URL, unless I explicitly trust the provider.

No, but I didn't bother even looking... ;)

And a healthy dose of paranoia with links is always a good idea.

Yeah, but if someone gives you a domain-based URL, how paranoid are  
you over checking its trustworthiness?

Do you say "I've never been to that domain before, so I won't trust it?"
That effectively prevents you browsing the web, beyond the MSN  
homepage that came preinstalled on your computer.

Do you check the spelling of every URL you consider visiting?
Just one character of "typo" in the domain of a URL could find you  
redirected to a fraudulent site. So you must check every URL carefully.

Really, domain-based URLs are better than IP-based ones because they  
allow the owner to move a site's IP without changing it's addy. They  
are therefore likely to have better longevity. But I am somewhat  
dubious of your security concerns.
