egalax USB touchscreen problems

[Ken Emmons Jr.]

Hello,
 
I tried to post this yesterday but I am not sure if it showed up on the
mailing list. I am trying to get an egalax touchscreen working on an
embedded PowerPC target using Debian Lenny distribution and custom
compiled kernel for 2.6.30.3. Xorg is 1.4.2 and evdev is 2.0.8 (See log
below). 
 
Anyhow I have more data:
 
Using HAL I was able to pass some information to the X server using this
file:
 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!-- 10-synaptics.fdi is claiming all input.touchpad's as its
     own. This file is meant to be loaded afterwards and to undo
     any wrong assignments it did.
-->
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<!--    <match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.touchpad"> -->
<match key="info.product" contains="eGalax">
  <merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">evdev</merge>
  <merge key="input.x11_options.Calibration" type="string">32 3990 48
3990</merge>
  <merge key="input.x11_options.InvertX" type="string">true</merge>
</match>
<!--    </match>  -->
</device>
</deviceinfo>

The xorg server didn't seem to like loading the evdev driver though, and
seems to be interpreting my touchscreen as a mouse with absolute
coordinates, and the wrong calibration. See the following output:
 
Log file output pertaining to input (I have a USB mouse and the USB
touchscreen plugged in):

The touchscreen does seem to work, but the input appears to be coming to
my "Generic Mouse" Any clue as to how to troubleshoot this? 
 
thanks,
