Hey 9nine9
I thought I'd drop by again and say thanks for the pointers and nobles for that link he provided on NBR.
I now have my touchscreen working on my 29.
Perhaps we should write up some for the 28 and 29 threads after its all said and done
but for the most part I'm just so pleased to get the touchscreen working after months of toiling with it.
NOW, to get the HOTKEYS working..
In terminal
sudo gedit etc/x11/xorg.conf
copy and paste - xorg.conf

Remember the following while doing the calibration:
MinX is the left part of the screen
MinY is the top of the screen
MaxX is the right part of the screen
MaxY is the bottom
Save after each change then ctrl-alt-backspace to restart the X server between
changes so the you wont have to continuosly reset the pc everytime ...saves some time.
Maybe someone should send a report to get the HAL rewritten .
Maybe then the ev calibration menu will work.
Anyhow, thanks a bunch bro...
