I ask because the code in /etc/X11/Xserver explicitly does not if the server is Xorg (if I'm reading things correctly). Also, any pointers on how to debug the touch screen? As I said, it works fine with SDL and Qt, but with X, it seems to go 100% backwards from what I want, i.e. touch left moves the cursor right, etc. Thanks -- ------------------------------------------------------------ Gary Thomas | Consulting for the MLB Associates | Embedded world ------------------------------------------------------------
