Hi guys, I’m trying to find information on how to use a Elo Touchscreen
monitor with my SDL app, I’m on linux but I don’t want to use X so I
need a solution for fb, I know it can be done, I guess I see something
on the Internet but now I can’t find anything about, anyone know
something about this?

I have an Elo touchscreen on my MP3 jukebox. It runs a custom written
SDL frontend that runs directly on the framebuffer. The only Elo
drivers I could find were X, so I wrote my own using the wonderful
tech specs available from the Elo website. Actually, I wrote code
that links directly into my app and talks directly to the serial port,
so it is not a mouse driver in the usual sense. It would be rather
easy to add Elo support to gpm using the code I have. I’ve been
tempted to do that and and probably will if I ever release my
jukebox code… but my jukebox works good enough for the parties I
throw, and I just can’t seem to find the time to clean up the code
enough to make it fit for other eyes.

If you think it would be useful, I can send you my elo touchscreen
protocol code. Just let me know.

Cheers,
