Some tips to use Debian on an Archos9 PC Tablet.
Mostly how to get the touchscreen working.
Touchscreen is an eGalax PS2, the OpenSource driver from https://github.com/poliva/opengalax will works.
First edit /etc/defaults/grub
and change the cmdline as following:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet i8042.nomux=1"
Then run sudo update-grub
.
Now you can install the opensource driver:
cd ~/
git clone git://github.com/poliva/opengalax.git
cd opengalax
vim opengalax.c
# Line 264, add the `case 6':
x = ((int)ya * YB_MAX) + ((int)yb);
y = X_AXIS_MAX - ((int)xa * XB_MAX) + (XB_MAX - (int)xb);
break;
Do a:
make
sudo make install
sudo reboot
Now this is good, after reboot the touchscreen needs to be calibrated:
Download xinput_calibrator and install:
cd ~/
git clone git://github.com/tias/xinput_calibrator.git
cd xinput_calibrator
sudo apt-get install libx11-dev libxdo-dev libxtst-dev xserver-xorg-dev
sudo apt-get install autoconf libtool m4 libgtkmm-2.4-dev
./autogen.sh
make
sudo make install
# run it:
xinput_calibrator
# touch the screen \o/
# follow instructions of xinput_calibrator to fix datas into X11/xorg.foobar
