Caroll Touch Screen

Hi,

I am trying to get a Caroll touchscreen up in Photon 1.13.
The online documentation for the Input manager indicates
that this touch screen is supported but I can’t get it to work.
The calibration program (acalib) sees no touches.

A DOS diagnostic program indicates that the touchscreen
is working fine.

Anybody got any ideas?

my input.1:
kbd -R fd -d/dev/kbd carol -b 9600 fd -d /dev/ser2 msoft fd -d /dev/ser1


TIA
Scott

If you hook up a mouse to your system (with this configuration), does the pointer work? I’m just wondering if “msoft fd -d /dev/ser1” somehow takes precedence over “carol”. Also, does ser2 appear under /dev?

Just guessing,

What does “inputtrap” say?

yea, the mouse is working. I have another touch screen which uses the

smartset protocol
on /dev/ser2 and it works fine when used with the mouse. I will take the
msoft stuff out though and give it
a try.

Thanks,
