Re: Goooooood news, touch screen works !

Yes, you can't use OPIE-1.2's calibrating program to calibrate your
touch screen. It keeps going in my case, too.
Recopy the root file system? you don't have to do that, the file system
will not be crashed when you reset it.
you can put this to your linuxrc :

export TSLIB_FBDEVICE=/dev/fb0
   export TSLIB_CONSOLEDEVICE=/dev/tty
   export TSLIB_TSDEVICE=/dev/input/event1
   export TSLIB_CALIBFILE=/etc/pointercal

and then put ts_calibrate to your linuxrc so it can be executed
automatically, and after calibrating, it will rewrite /etc/pointercal
with new calibrated data.
