Re: Touchscreen

Hi,

usually touchscreens do of course just work. We usually deploy USB HID 
compliant touchscreens ... those work out-of-the-box.

Recently we had a project where a Zytronic touchscreen was used. The 
associated driver is binary-only and segfaults with X.org after 6.9 or 
so ... - so we had to ship explicitly this version (I think we used a T2 
version 2.1 based build for that).

I guess in your specific case the penmount driver might be defect after the 
X.org modularization and the latest changes.

What T2 and X.org version did you use? Does it work with T2 when you build 
exactly the same version SuSE does include? (Maybe the SuSE people have some 
hotfix patches for the xf86-input-penmount driver that are not yet sent or 
inculuded upstream?

Yours,
