Hello there,
I have a E2014T dell touch monitor and I am trying to use it in pair with BeagleBone Black. The touch module is connected using usb cable.
I have read in this tutorial: http://embedded.von-kannen.net/2014/05/21/qt-4-8-6-on-beaglebone-black/#comment-4288
How to enable the tslib and touchscreen. But I think, that this reffers to a touchscreen not connected to the usb, because it doesnt work.
Without adding those variables to enviroment:
$ sudo nano /etc/environment
-> add the following lines
QWS_MOUSE_PROTO=tslib:/dev/input/event0
TSLIB_CALIBFILE=/etc/pointercal
TSLIB_CONFFILE=/etc/ts.conf
TSLIB_PLUGINDIR=/usr/lib/ts
-> Save (Ctrl + O) and exit (Ctrl + X)
$ sudo reboot
Touchscreen works out of the box, but it is not even close to being calibrated. The offset is really big and it changes when my finger is in different part of the display. After enabling the:
QWS_MOUSE_PROTO=tslib:/dev/input/event0
Touchscreen stops working. I feel like its not event0 at all.
When I run ts_calibrate and try to press the crosshair, it doesnt work. It feels like touchscreen is off for the ts_calibrate program.
Does anyone has any expirience in such usb touchscreens and BeagleBone Black? I Would really aprichiate some help.

Which version of Qt are you using?
Debian or Angstrom On the Bone?
Is there any other event in /dev/input?

I am using debian. I cant tell the exact qt version now, as i dont have the
hardware on me. I remember that there are inputa from 0 to 3 though. I
tried all of them I think. The touch screen only barelly works with none of
them selected and they appear only after i connect the monitor through
usb... Weird.

I have just realised one thing- When I connect the monitor to the BeagleBone Black using USB, there appears 3 input entries (input0, 1 and 2). What I forgot to mention is that I had an usb dongle connected to the monitor itself, because it also server as a usb hub. In this scenarion then a USB dongle (keyboard + mouse) is connected to the USB hub in the monitor and then the monitor itself is connected to the BeagleBone Black. I wil have to check what input number is the touchscreen exacly when i get the hardware again. But even though- I tried to use all of them in /etc/enviroment

Hello there,
I am using QT 4.8.6.
this is the de/input/ dir without any additional peripherals connected:
root@beaglebone:/dev/input# ls
by-id by-path event0 event1 mice mouse0
I have managed to calibrate the screen, the proper device was event1 as i checked through expirience. But even though the screen was calibrated, my QT application still has the same offset. Its like the calibration didnt have any effect. Do you know maybe what else can I check?
