Touchscreen setup

When the system starts up, TSLIB_TSDEVICE environment variable must be set and ts_calibration application must be called to calibrate the touchscreen.

$export TSLIB_TSDEVICE=/dev/input/event1

/dev/input/event1 is the usual touchscreen device. Some systems can address the touchscreen device to other names.

It's possible to check what's the touchscreen device by typing:

$cat /dev/input/<supposed device>

After the command above, when touchscreen is pressed, some characters will be showed indicating that the <supposed device> device is the touchscreen device and it's working properly.

$ts_calibrate

Calibrate screen will appear.

After touchscreen calibration, Qtopia can be executed by calling the following script:

$/etc/rc.d/init.d/qtopia start

Qtopia will be started.
