    How to install touch screen driver - kernel 2.6.xxx

    Hello all
    I'm a newbie with Linux

    The Linux is a stripped Debian (kernel 2.6) and LXDE
    I have a touch screen on it, but when moving a finger over it, the mouse pointer goes in opposite direction.

    When running lsusb i get the following output:
    Code:
    Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
    Bus 004 Device 003: ID 0eef:0002 D-WAV Scientific Co., Ltd Touchscreen Controller(Professional)
    Bus 004 Device 002: ID 9529:1516  
    Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
    Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub

    Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
    The file /proc/bus/input/devices contain the following:

    Hello and welcome.

    I'm not familiar with a touchscreen setup but did you run across the page below when searching? The manual pages for those drivers might have some additional info.
