<div dir="ltr">Hello, <br>I'm preparing an open source accessibility project for the XO, and it would greatly benefit from a touchpanel for users with limited motor control. I'll be in the Chicago area on Saturday August 23 with two XOs and a USB touchpanel, and am curious if anyone with Linux HID driver installation experience would like to get together to work on this.<br>
<br>Some specifics on the touchpanel & drivers:<br>This is an IRTouch E08 panel: <a href="http://www.irtouchusa.com/e_pro_list.htm" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">www.irtouchusa.com/e_pro_list.htm</a> .<br>
The touchpanel drivers & instructions I've tried for Ubuntu are
probably leaving out key, lower-level steps needed for the OLPC OS, but
I do not have experience that close to the metal with Linux drivers
(most of my experience is on application servers with no fancy HID
hardware.) I've tried these so far: <a href="http://www.unitop.cc/info/200855/200855173933.shtml" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">www.unitop.cc/info/200855/200855173933.shtml</a> , <a href="http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=412669" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=412669</a>
, manually doing the steps in the Perl files, and then some
progressively more radical changes to /etc/X11/xorg.conf , which
eventually hosed X. Reloading the XO build is easy, but it doesn't appear that getting the drivers working will be. At this point, I can provide hardware,
encouragement, a fun application, and a compelling use case. :)<br><br>Please let me know if you're interested; thanks much!<br> Matt Barkau</div>
