Penmount touchscreen 9000

[François Bourqui]

Hello

I recently installed Android x86 and was able to connect my Penmount touchscreen with this command:

inputattach --daemon -pm9k /dev/ttyS3

But the y and x axis are reversed and the calibration app in android x86 doesn't fix it.

Some driver exists for many different linux but it use Xserver (that is not present in android x86).
Thoses driver can be found here:
http://www.salt.com.tw/en/service-support/downloads/software/#

Any idea to reverse the axis?

Ok guys!

I finally found how to do this
I found in etc/init.sh what to do.

1) In terminal:
mkdir -p /data/misc/tscal
touch /data/misc/tscal/pointercal
chown 1000.1000 /data/misc/tscal /data/misc/tscal/*
chmod 775 /data/misc/tscal
chmod 664 /data/misc/tscal/pointercal


2) then start the calibration app and calibrate.
After that, the file /data/misc/tscal/pointercal should have calibration data

3) Reboot

4) In terminal:
inputattach --daemon --baud 19200 -pm9k /dev/ttyS3

If you can provide a patch,
I'll add it in the next release.

I will when I'll be able to download the source code. 

repo init and sync successful with google repo, but repo synch always fail on androidx86 repo at 17% (download too slow and go in timeout, tried it).

I first tried by sourceforge but it doesn't work at all.
