Problems calibrating capacitive touchscreen

[renatochinelatt]

Hi,

I'm working with a Focaltech capacitive touchscreen and in X11 it´s works, but it´s not properly calibrated.

I installed xinput_calibrator, but when I run it I receive the message:

Error: No calibratable devices found.

In /var/log/Xorg.0.log I have:

I tried manually configure the file /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf:

Section "InputClass"
   Identifier "calibration"
   MatchProduct "EP0790M09"
   Option "Calibration" "7 100 16 580"
   Option "SwapAxes" "0"
EndSection

After reboot, when I touch in the screen, the pointer goes on the top left and does not work anymore.

Looking at var/log/Xorg.0.log:

Why it say "No input driver specified"?

Is there any way to configure it?

Any idea?

Thanks.

Hi Renato

this touch device is used on BD software releases and one can look at its description :

1280x800 displays - Boundary Devices

Hi igorpadykov,

Although it is not the same driver I use (edt-ft5x06.c), it helped me to solved it.

I just added:

x=x*1024/1800;
y=y*600/1024;

before of the code:

input_report_abs(tsdata->input, ABS_MT_POSITION_X, x);
input_report_abs(tsdata->input, ABS_MT_POSITION_Y, y);

Thanks!
