Hello all,
Here is a little update to tslib library I was working on. On my system it cures most touchscreen-related problems. Using mouse-oriented interfaces became a lot more fun, as well as drawing and playing Starcraft
Hope it'll do the same for you.
The tricky part is the new calibration utility which tries to record an accurate pressure profile during calibration. Basically, you have to put the stylus on the cross, then gradually increase the pressure to the max, then gradually decrease the pressure, all without moving the stylus. Decreasing is especially tricky, but hey, you only calibrate once!
PND file is now on the repo. Sources are inside the PND.
PS: For those who wonder if this could help them. If you have a cursor shifting when you change touch pressure, this is for you. If you click in the corner and end up selecting a small rectangle instead of a proper click, this should help as well. If sometimes you do two distinct clicks and instead you get a selection bound by those two clicks, this update should reduce the odds of this happening (if it still happens, edit /etc/ts.conf and decrease maxdelay to 50...100).
Any other issues you may have will probably not be addressed.
PPS: If you have bugs to report, please consider attaching your /etc/pointercal file and/or a small log from ts_print_raw recoded during the bug, if you think these files would be relevant to the problem.
