Yes, thanks from me too for pointing this thread in the right direction. I also sent a revised (updated) post to the linux-kernel list, but was not aware of the linux-input list. > Thanks a lot for the detailed analysis.

Great. I will do that as soon as I can -- which is when I arrive at SuperComputing to setup our system. The display (our only one) is currently on a truck bound for New Orleans. In the meantime, I wrote a very simple application that parses the data directly from /dev/hidrawN, does a simple parse, and then creates X events with the Xtest API. Of course, I'm only doing single touch, since that's all I need for the moment. I also have a Dell SX2210T touch screen with the NextWindow interface. We made some partial progress on our Ubuntu 10.10 system with the nwfermi driver, but again, not quite all the way -- of course now that computer is on the road, and I'm not having as much luck with that touchscreen on my Fedora 13 system. > Thanks, Thank you both, and more to come, Bill -- Bill Sherman Sr. Technology Advisor Advanced Visualization Lab Pervasive Technologies Inst Indiana University shermanw@indiana.edu
