After googling a bit more it seems that it is impossible to unload and
load drivers on the fly in X... :(

Tristan, was your calibration utility closed source?

I think that named pipe will be my only approach. The only other
choice, which seems to be quite difficult, is to create a duplicate
ttyS in kernel and read it normally.

Something else that might be also be required to do is to use a 2nd
configuration file for use only by EloTouch X driver an it will
re-read configuration from it...

One question though, why do I need libc wrapper at all???

Thank you,
Sergei
