slackware 13.1 flybook touch screen

Hi,
I've just installed Slackware 13.1 on my flybook V33i. Most of the hardware has been recognized and now I'd like to use the touchscreen. I've compiled and loaded the touchscreen module penmountlpc 1.1. I've also downloaded xf86-input-plpevtouch-0.5.0 and installed with the command:
./configure --prefix=/usr/X11R6 && make && make install (I've X11R6 and not X11R7).

After that, as slackware use HAL to config X11 and doesn't use a xorg.conf as default, I've started xorgsetup to create a good xorg.conf for my laptop. startx, with that new xorg.conf, gives me a stable and well configured machine (both for video, mouse and keyboard). Adding the Section "InputDevice" and the Section "ServerLayout" suggest at: http://www.plop.at/en/touchscreen.html
gives me a working desktop but mouse and keyboard don't work. Even the pen on the screen has no effects. On the web I've found another config to use inside xorg.conf:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier "touchscreen"
        Driver "plpevtch"
        Option "Device" "/dev/input/event7"
        Option "DeviceName" "touchscreen"
        #Option "MinX" "47"
        #Option "MinY" "49"
        #Option "MaxX" "982"
        #Option "MaxY" "981"
        Option "Calibrate"
        Option "Debug"
        Option "ReportingMode" "Raw"
        Option "Emulate3Buttons"
        Option "Emulate3Timeout" "50"
        Option "SendCoreEvents"
        Option "MoveLimit"  "2"
EndSection

and for the "ServerLayout" I've used:
     InputDevice        "touchscreen" "SendCoreEvents"


With that config I've the same results (mouse and keyboard don't work) but the pen is alive. It's not calibrated but when I touch the screen the cursor moves in a new position (no tracking anyway). Can you help me?


Thanks in advance

David

hi,
don't use plpevtch. the default xorg evdev driver should work fine. calibrate with http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/xinput_calibrator (thanks to manuel u.)

Hi Elmar, thanks for answering me.
I've downloaded and untar the xinput_calibrator, I run ./autogen.sh and make, it seems there are no problems with that.
When I run the xinput_calibrator I get "No calibratable devices found" What to do?
I've tried with and without xorg.conf (if I remove xorg.conf slackware uses HAL).
When I use the xorg.conf I change the line

Driver "plpevtch"

into

Driver "evdev"

Both tests gave me the same result.
Bye
David
