Thanks for all your help and education, I think I will let this problem ride for a while until I see an update in the update notification. I am able to use the Elo Touch in Oracle Virtual Machine with a Windoze 7 guest.
The IntelliiTouch Plus driver will only support multiple monitors if they are all using the IntelliTouch Plus touch technology. Perhaps we'll move forward with this configuration utility in the next version of our application.Īs for the application failure - I would have to defer to the developers at this point. Calibration can be done through the Elo driver control panel. If the Elo-specific driver (XP/Vista/7) is installed, the OS USB-HID driver will give it control of the touchscreen and it does not support gestures or multi-touch. I had been meaning to test the ELO on a laptop as well however and just never got around to it. The touchscreen controller (chip inside the touchscreen) tells the OS that it is a HID mouse device rather than a HID touch device, which is a relatively new HID device category. I had the additional problem of the touchscreen monitor making a 'bing' noise at me whenever I tried to touch the crosshair and the calibration tool would not advance. I have three monitors and my third monitor is a touchscreen monitor. We are using ELO's utility to calibrate the screens but it's only for kernel version 2.6.24 or older. What Scoobie108 said is correct to get the calibration button active in the settings. The device is used to control electronic signage via Xbee radios. The interface only consists of a few large buttons and there is no possibility for the end user to launch any applications or even get to a command prompt (virtual terminal). I actually have nearly 100 of these nifty little ELO screens deployed and driven by WYSE thin clients running Slackware Linux. When the target is touched, it disappears and another target appears.ģ.Repeat the procedure for each target as they appear.Do you really use the touchscreen, or is it just a novelty? There you will see a list of COM ports, COM5 will be selected, leave it selected and press the Next button.
Select Auto-detect so that your touchscreen will be found automatically and select Next. Here you will be asked to accept the Agreement.
The default value of 'None' indicates that no Touchscreen is used. This parameter allows to select the touchscreen driver to be used. During calibration, be careful to keep your fingernails and other fingers away from the touchscreen as you touch each target. The touchscreen parameters are a subsection of the Input parameters. Touch the calibration target firmly and precisely with your fingertip.Perform the calibration in the position (sitting or standing) that you normally expect to use the touchscreen.
Proper Touchscreen Methodsīefore performing the calibration procedure please observe the following guidelines for proper/improper methods of touching the screen. PCap displays do not require calibration. Only units with resistive touchscreens need to be calibrated.
