Recalibrate

[leland]

Hello, I'm using OE on my ipaq h5555, and I'm finding that the calibration is very touchy and unescapable. I have had to reflash a few times to work around it, and each reflash takes around 35 minutes ! Is there a way to shorten the number of tabs required to get through the calibration thing ? Sometimes it seems to take hundreds.

Can someone tell me more how this app works - and how maybe to hack around it ? How do you start the app from the terminal ? Does it recieve any options?

Sometimes the screen will not respond to the pointer, like if I start the recalibration app (even accidentally - grrrrrrrr), and then I'm stuck making another 10,000 taps. [I wish I could get paid for each tap.] Is it possible to reset the /etc/pointythingy file ?

1.) You don't run OE -- OE is a buildsystem, not a distribution. You probably run Familiar Linux or OpenZaurus. Which version of Distribution and Opie btw.? From where did you get it?

2.) How do you expect reflashing to help with calibration? There's an application called "recalibrate" which you can start to rerun the calibration app.

3.) It's most likely not an Opie problem, but a problem with your touch screen driver in kernel space. Try to log in via ssh and run ts-calibrate. Restart Opie again. Check if that improves things.

4.) There are values in ts.conf which could improve things as well, especially try to tweak the jitter value.

1) Familiar 0.8.2 and 0.8.4-rc2 (currently the latter)

2) Sometimes it seems like the calibration gets horked and the screen won't respond, even if I reset. Or, I get stuck in a perpetual configuration loop. I've counted as I've clicked, and I've had to click over 150 times with no end.

3) No ts-anything . Wierd, huh ?

4) Again, no ts.conf that I can find
