Toshiba Touch Screen Driver for Tatung TX-2000 Tablet

[DarrenM]

Hello.

I have a Tatung TX-2000 web pad. It's also known as a GooRoo Rugboard.
I've been trying to get Linux on it for a while and have wiped the
original XP embedded install off. Android seems the perfect way to get
it useful again, so this project is perfect.

The only thing that would be a problem is the touch screen driver, as
every other bit of hardware is supported in Linux in one way or the
other. The driver is a real problem to get hold of, and no-one can
find it anywhere.

As luck would have it, I asked the right people at the right time and
am now in possession of GPL'd source code for this particular touch
screen but I don't know anywhere near enough driver/kernel hacking to
get this into the tree. Is there any way I could contribute the driver
and have someone more knowledgeable than me get it into a state ready
for including in an Android kernel?

The driver seems to be based around XFree86, but it looks like only
the single C file is required, so most of that stuff should be
superfluous.

Thanks for any info.

Regards
Darren

Do you have a functional linux version for this machine ?

I'm going to try and get it to compile for Ubuntu first, but I'm not too confident!

I don't believe so. This driver is for a Toshiba screen. I think the person on that thread who says its the same snk screen as the cf-73 is wrong. I will give it a try just in case, but I don't hold much hope.

what we need is the hardware list. If you have another linux distro on
this device it can be as simple as lsusb > lsusb.txt. Then just paste
the output on here. If you don't have anything installed you can use a
livecd, ubuntu, knoppix, ... virtually anything that boots into a
linux environment will work. See if you can get the output of lspci
and lsusb.

Sorry fuzzy7k,

but lshal is better WITH dmesg.

lspci or lsusb or lshw are not accurate enough...
