<pre wrap="">Hi,
I need xf86-input-dmc driver to use a DMC 15" touch screen.
I tried to get the driver from "xorg/driver/xf86-input-dmc" via git. But I
couldn't compile it.
This is what I get when I run ./autogen.sh

This driver has been discontinued as it was lacking any maintainership and
no users or bugreports against the driver could be found. Right now, it
doesn't compile since it missed out on a few API changes that occured since
the above error message was committed.

You seem to be using Linux, so instead of resurrecting the driver a better
option is to get the device supported by the linux kernel and not
worry about a separate driver for X.
This has recently been done for the dynapro driver that also used to have
its own X driver. Now it should just work with evdev, without having to
configure X specifically. For the dynapro commit, see
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/dtor/input.git;a=commitdiff;h=b1680a3bbfb86de49bf2679b100b6f2e1ce03a27">http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/dtor/input.git;a=commitdiff;h=b1680a3bbfb86de49bf2679b100b6f2e1ce03a27</a>
I really recommend going this option, the dmc driver seems to be close
enough to dynapro that the above commit can be used as a template.
Cheers,
Peter

Thank you, I'll try to go with your recommendation. <br>
<br>
By the way, just for a note, <br>
- I use knoppix 6.0 installed on a harddisk. I can see the mouse
pointer moving when I touch the screen. But I couldn't find how to
calibrate it. When I move my finger to the right the pointer goes down.<br>
- Then I tried to install the evtouch driver from the synaptic packet
manager and made necessary xorg.conf changes. Now I can calibrate it
via xorg.conf. But works very poorly. Evtouch driver seems to be
written to support many mouse input events such as right click and
middle mouse click etc. Therefore some times it doesn't understand if I
click or tried to generate another event. Infact I dont need any of
these events. I only need mouse up and down events (I assume click will
be generated automatically).<br>
<br>
If you have comments on these I'd be glad to hear it.<br>
Best regards,<br>
Oguz.<br>
