I'm trying a Egalax touchscreen to work for a TPV on Ubuntu 18.04, but everything I tried didnt work at all. I tried to make it work with "calibrate touchscreen" as Ubuntu seems to detect the screen correctly, but no input at all from calibration.I tried with the Egalax driver as this tutorial:
Linux Egalax Touch Screen Driver
Download File: https://gohhs.com/2vGFWz
This describes how to set up an eGalax touch screen. It has been tested on Debian Linux but other 2.6 kernel based distros should be fairly similar. You will need to be the root user for most of this guide.
Now we have to setup X to load its driver so you can actually use the touchscreen. See the Driver Guide.pdf for information on this in the tar file we downloaded earlier. /TouchKit/Guides/Driver Guide.pdf The guide is easy to understand and is much easier to accomplish than the driver installation.. Good Luck.
So that should have the effect of make a fake serial link, connect the touchscreen to one end (ttyVA00) and the driver to the other end (ttyVB00). Then I can feed nulls or something into ttyVA00 in order to keep traffic on the link, and thus stop it from being removed.
Although I got what I expected from ttyVB00, by catting it and touching the screen and seeing the traffic, the driver did not want to see it. It just stops at Entering EndlessScanLoop so I am guessing it is querying something from the touchscreen and socat is messing with that data somehow.
Yesterday I upgrade to upenSUSE 11.3 and the touch-screen does not work any longer.I also installed from eGalax_eMPIA Technology Inc. TouchKit Linux Driver the new touch-screen driver eGalaxTouch-3.02.4315-32b-k26.tar.gz. And then I tried the beta driver eGalaxTouch-3.03.4510-32b-k26.tar.gz. Both without success.
(I) Check user permission: root, you are the supervisor.(I) Begin to setup the eGalaxTouch driver.(I) Extract eGalaxTouch driver archive to /usr/local/eGalaxTouch32.(I) Create eGalaxTouch utility shortcut in /usr/bin.(I) Create TKCal tool shortcut in /usr/bin.(I) Check X window version: 1.8.x(I) Copy X module: x18/egalax_drv.so to /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input.
(Q) Which interface controller do you use?(I) [1] RS232 [2] PS/2 [3] USB : 3(I) Using interface: USB(I) Found a HID compliant touch controller.(I) Found inbuilt kernel module: usbtouchscreen(I) It is highly recommended that add it into blacklist.(Q) Do you want to add it into blacklist? (y/n) n
Many thanks! You helped me very much. The touch-screen works now.There were at least 3 problems (edit setup.sh, move xorg.conf and blacklist kernel modul usbtouchscreen). I had to do the following:

When I touch the screen, the cursor just keeps flying all around the screen rapidly.If more info is needed, please contact me by e-mail.---AlsaVersion: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.21.Architecture: i386ArecordDevices: **** List of CAPTURE Hardware Devices **** card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 0: STAC92xx Analog [STAC92xx Analog] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: alvin 2347 F.... pulseaudio /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p: alvin 2347 F...m pulseaudioCRDA: Error: [Errno 2] No such file or directoryCard0.Amixer.info: Card hw:0 'NVidia'/'HDA NVidia at 0xf0980000 irq 17' Mixer name: 'Nvidia MCP7A HDMI' Components: 'HDA:111d7604,102802ba,00100302 HDA:10de0007,102802ba,00100100' Controls : 21 Simple ctrls : 12DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.04InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 10.04 "Lucid Lynx" - Beta i386 (20100406.1)Lsusb: Bus 002 Device 003: ID 04b3:3107 IBM Corp.

Same problem here on Ubuntu 10.04!I tried to install the driver that came on the CD and followed many instructions posted around the web but the only thing it does is to simulate right click on the upper left corner of the screen and nothing else.
I had problems with eGalax touchscreen with my Asus T101MT, the new kernel in Maverick works as a single touch screen, but not as the proper two finger mutitouch screen it should be. The bug is described here: +source/linux/+bug/625511 Obsolete quirk prevents multitouch module for eGalax touchscreen from working. I hope it will be fixed for maverick
1) While there is a dedicated multitouch driver for the screen (hid-egalax.c), the MULTI_INPUT quirk is also applied, preventing the hid-egalax driver from working. This patch removes the quirk so the hid-egalax driver can handle the device correctly. 2) The x and y coordinates sent by the screen in multi-touch mode are shifted by three bits from the events sent in single-touch mode, thus the coordinates are out of range, leading to the pointer being stuck in the bottom-right corner if no additional calibration is applied (e.g. in the X evdev driver). This patch shifts the coordinates back. This does not decrease accuracy as the last three bits of the "wrong" coordinates are always 0. 3) Only multi-touch pressure events are sent, single touch emulation is missing pressure information. This patch adds single-touch ABS_PRESSURE events.
If you get an error about a missing "empty_cursor.xbm", fetch it from the web and put it into "/". Use a pen or your finger to move across all corners and edges. Do not tap but drag over the screen. After you are done put the printed MinX/MinY/MaxX/MaxY values into the "xorg.conf" file.Note: the calibration did not work for me with the calibrate tool in the package. I used the one from the latest evtouch archive.

So I think the device is properly recognised but the cursor isn't moving while I touch the screen. I've been trying to calibrate the screen with xinput_calibrator but this tool doesn't recognise the touch events either.
There were no error messages, the library was build successfully.When i try to run the follwing in test folder: ts_print, It gives error of tslib: Selected device is not a touchscreen. On doing #lsusb command it gives output as:
More and more often, our industrial touch screen customers are taking advantage of the open source Linux operating system, Ubuntu. Ubuntu has evolved into a versatile, easy-to-configure environment with a large community following and massive support from the company Canonical. We have seen a steady increase in calls from customers leveraging Linux in industrial environments, and in recent years Ubuntu has been leading the charge. In addition to the standard Elo-provided Linux driver, Ubuntu users now have a very simple touch screen driver solution that requires no new software.
