I just checked their website, did you know they have a binary available for several different distros? As far as I can tell, they only support up to kernel-2.6.20.1 for Fedora Core 6. Ubuntu-8.04 with kernel-2.6.24-19-generic, or of course download and try to compile your own.

Did you check the requirements to make sure you have everything you need? This is taken from the USB version, I'm not sure which version you downloaded.

- Kernels supported:
Kernel version 2.6.24 and below (GCC version 3.3.5 and later)

- XFree86 supported:
Xfree86 version 4.3.0
Xorg version 6.8.2 - 7.3
Xorg (Xserver) version 1.3
Xorg (Xserver) version 1.4

- Motif versions supported:
Motif version 3.0 (libXm.so.3)

- libusb versions supported:
libusb version 0.1.8 or later
- Check if necessary packages like gcc, make, kernel header files
or kernel sources are installed.

EDIT: Have you seen this yet? It may be of some help.

The GCC , Xorg, libusb have met the requirements for the drivers, but, I am trying to install it on 2.6.27 kernel. Is it still gonna work? I know its pretty much change in the kernel version. But, How can I make it work?


I happen to look into the links u have sent me before, but I am still looking around for the solution....

I could not find the libXm.so.3 ( i have tried yum install lesstif and looked into openmotif as well, but still could not figure out)

Well, couple of things going in my mind....

Does the 32 bit serial touch screen driver work on a 64 bit fedora 10?...If so I can install that onto to make the touch screen work....If so How do I make sure that I have necessary 32 bit libraries?....All i need is to make the touch screen work...

Thank you.
