Lilliput Touch Screen on Xubuntu

June 20th, 2006

I am writing this down so that I can remember how to do this next time. If you find it helpful and it saves you some time then I am glad to help.

The first thing to do is to install the build-essential package. This installs gcc, make, gdb etc. To do this type this…

sudo apt-get install build-essential

Install the tcl development package…

sudo apt-get install tcl8.4-dev

Install the kernel source package…

sudo apt-get install kernel-source

sudo apt-get install linux-headers

Remove the touckitusb driver from memory with…

sudo rmmod touchkitusb

Then down load the drivers from http://www.egalax.com/eg/drivers.htm

Follow the instructions with the driver.

To create the tpaneld.conf file just run the touchcfg file and it’ll create it. Then reboot. Once it reboots it should be a simple matter of running the touchcfg program as root and running the configuration program.
