Hi Bodhi.

Bodhi works out of the box with my touchscreens. ( on IBM X41. or with eGalxy touch surface)
I am looking for the way to config the touchscreen driver.
I would like the driver to do a Right Click Emulation.


I am not sure which driver I am using, I think it called: "evdev"...? I am not sure.

I found some info about the driver EVTouch online is this the one on bodhi?

http://www.conan.de/...n/libtouch.html

as I understand the function "LONGTOUCHED" is what I am looking for.
but - I have no idea about the right syntext.

I have also found this link:
http://www.staff.amu...mar/blog/?p=247
which talk about editing the file : /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-calibration.conf
but the file does not exist on bodhi...

If any one has an idea how to make it works I would be very happy to here about it,

Assaf

You can use the software "easy stroke" to emulate a right click via a gesture I believe.

Modern Linux distributions no longer use xorg.confs and haven't for some time. That being said if you create a file for xorg it will be used.

Hi Guys
Thanks for yours replays.

It is possible to generate right click with easy stroke. but easy stroke will disturb the extension grab and drag (scrolling in Firefox)

I tried to put the Xorg.Conf in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-calibration.conf
But it does not change any thing.
I found that in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d there are many Xorg.Conf files.
maybe it is possible to add the " Option "EmulateThirdButton" "1" " to one of them ??

Hi,

you can try and create an /etc/X11/xorg.conf file with the touchscreen parameters in it.
That's the way I made work my touchscreen on my Archos 9 bloody tablet

Well, worth the try, I found out xorg.conf beeing usefull on some hardware even with the huge progress within xorg self config.

could you please post your file as an example ?

OK. SOLVED !!!

the solution:

1. open terminal and run the command "xinput_calibrator".. after the calibration is finish read the terminal output.
The xinput_calibrator will give you the name of the XORG.CONF file you are about to create.

2. Go to /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/ and create or update the file that the "xinput_calibrator" suggested

3. in the file you just create add the following, just after the

Option "Calibration"   "xxx yyy zzz qqq"

Option "EmulateThirdButton" "1"
Option "EmulateThirdButtonTimeout" "750"
Option "EmulateThirdButtonThreshold" "30"   

save the file - restart and now try and see - long hold on the touchscreen brings up right click.


just as an example the file I created called : 99-calibration.conf
and its content is:

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier      "calibration"
        MatchProduct    "eGalax Inc. USB TouchController"
        Option  "Calibration"   "234 1962 164 1861"
	Option "EmulateThirdButton" "1"
	Option "EmulateThirdButtonTimeout" "750"
	Option "EmulateThirdButtonThreshold" "30"
EndSection

good luck you all
