This file tells how to use gpm with the driver for event-devices that use absolut coordiantes (evabs) like touchscreens. It was desigened and tested for eGalax controllers, but should work with others as well. CALIBRATION ----------- Calibration is done with a configfile. It consists of a single line of 8 integers: ex_min ex_max ey_min ey_max sx_min sx_max sy_min sy_max The first four values (prefixed withe here) show the minimum and maximum values of coordinates the event-device delivers for x- and y-axis, respectivly. The last four values show range of coordinates to which the input should be scaled, for example your screen resolution. This works for text-mode, too. An example for an 800x600 screen would look like this: 50 1950 50 1950 0 799 0 599 GPM OPERATION ------------- You need to use the evabs devicetype to use this feature, a device that delivers the absolute coordinates a config-file that describes how to scale these coordinates, and a repeater- device used for output. The pseudo-file /proc/bus/input/devices should tell you which event-device to use. Usage example: gpm -t evabs -m /dev/input/event2 -c /etc/gpm-calib.conf -R ps2
