This How-to is inspired by:

---> http://darkgiank.freeforums.org/mandriv ... it-t4.html


First, the aim of PCLinuxOS is to be a stable Distro. If you don't feel comfortable with this How-to or you are new in linux, maybe its better to forget this Topic... Roll Eyes

This is the way i did... I'm not responsible for any hardware or software damage


In this tutorial i will show to you how to enable touchscreen and others functions in this tablet... Wink


- Driver version NVIDIA - 169.12 (use synaptic to install the nvidia driver)
- Driver Audio Realtek ( Work )
- Driver Bluetooth (not working in PClinuxOS Gnome 2008.1 but work in PClinuxOS 2008 minime)
- Driver camera (Work, I tested with Ekiga and KOPETE)
- Finger Print - Dont know because i dont use it, bur there is a project
called Fprint - just google it...


- Wireless (Work with ndiswrapper) See how:

1 . Go to PCLinuxOS Contrlol Center - Network & Internet - Set up a Network interface...
2- Choose Wireless
3- Select "Use a Windows Driver"
4- Use the ndiswrapper driver bcmwl5
5- Select your wireless connection or edit manually. Then click next until the end.

TOUCHSCREEN:

Download the drivers for your touchscreen tablet pc

http://www.zshare.net/download/5421622ff8c658/

unzip the file and the copy the file egalax_drv.so to /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input (you need root permissions)

Then make a backup of your xorg.conf (its safer Wink ) Open your xorg.conf file - copy and paste these lines(etc - x11 - xorg.conf )


1- Copy this green line and paste in your xorg.conf file. Remember that you need to paste de green line in the same section that you see below...

Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "layout1"
InputDevice "Keyboard1" "CoreKeyboard"
InputDevice "Mouse1" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "SynapticsMouse1" "AlwaysCore"
InputDevice "EETI" "SendCoreEvents"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
EndSection

2- Then apply these code after the EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "EETI"
Driver "egalax"
Option "Device" "/dev/hiddev0"
Option "Parameters" "/etc/egalax.cal"
Option "ScreenNo" "0"
EndSection


Save your Xorg.conf file and then reboot your machine


Now go for the folder that you did the download and:

[root@linuxtablet TouchKit]# chmod +x TouchKit
[root@linuxtablet TouchKit]# ./TouchKit

And you will see somenthing like this: Cool

Go to "tool" and choose "25Pts Linz". You have to make the touchscreen calibration in 25 Points. This is the best way to calibrate your Touchscreen.

Now You have to use the Touchscreen Pen in the 25 white signs...

Congratulations Wink
