Problems when compiling plpevtch driver

[Tomy]

When I try to compile the latest plpevtch driver on Ubuntu 09.10, I get the following error:

evdev.c: In function 'EvdevReadInput':
evdev.c:295: warning: passing argument 4 of 'TimerSet' from incompatible pointer type
/usr/include/xorg/os.h:192: note: expected 'OsTimerCallback' but argument is of type 'CARD32 (*)(struct _OsTimerRec *, CARD32,  struct _LocalDeviceRec *)'

make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

Does anybody know what I'm doing wrong?

Cheers,

I'm sorry for the troubles...
Cause I'm not really familiar with this topic, I can't really help, but I could Betatest if it would help.

Did anyone ever resolve this problem? I'm getting the same error when installing this driver on Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.10 on a Flybook V33i.

I got the driver compiled for Ubuntu 9.10 and also got it working. Although this is kludge and should be used with caution. I have one problem though. When touchscreen is working the keyboard and mouse stops working!

But here are the changes:

This is the kludge part. I wasn't sure what I should put there so I just tested and with value 2 it seemed to work.

The mouse and keyboard issue still exist when touchscreen is active in the last version of the drivers... ^^

I had to comment out " InputDevice "touchscreen" "Pointer"" in the ServerLayout section to solve the problem.

Edit : Sorry, bad sentence ! I had to comment " InputDevice "touchscreen" "Pointer"" in the ServerLayout section to solve the problem." ^^
On my computer if this line exist in ServerLayout section, I can't use the mouse and the keyboard.
When removed, everything works...

I have the same problem : my keyboard (but not my touchpad) is inactivated
when I activate the plpevtch driver...
I am using the xorg1.7 from debian, and I first tried with my 2.6.30 kernel, then I
managed to rebuild psb kernel driver for 2.6.32 and I tried again, and it is still the
same problem...
I am using the 5.0 version of plpevtch compiled against Xorg1.7.

I would like to use the plpevtch driver because until now it has been the only one I
was able to calibrate without any problem...

Please, if some of you has any idea about the cause of the problem, I would be
glad  to know

hmm, i try to reproduce this problem here when i have time.
