Had it working in Ubuntu and now Ive switched to openSUSE and loving it! Much better than Ubuntu. But I cant get the touchscreen working. Please help…Ive tried to get it working but assume I have done nothing please. Im semi-intelligent when it comes to linux but most of my experience has come from Ubuntu. Here is a Ubuntu page on getting it working if this helps.

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/T101MT

Im kernel 2.6.34-12 and using openSUSE 11.3 (32 bit) If you need anymore info please ask. Thanks for any help

Also im sorry if I put this in the wrong place.

Hello rolltide101x and welcome to the community!:slight_smile:

Good to hear you like openSUSE!

You forgot to mention which touchscreen/computer you have.
But looking at the link I assume you’ve got an ASUS Eee PC T101MT Tablet PC?

The link is in this case useless.
But what you need to do is download the driver from here: eGalax_eMPIA Technology Inc. TouchKit Linux Driver
Not sure which one you need but I’ve read a thread where they say you need the beta: openSUSE 11.3 and eGalax TouchScreen

I don’t have a touchscreen myself, so I couldn’t test it.
I recommend you try downloading the driver, read the thread carefully.
There’s most likely a README or INSTALL file in that package, maybe that’s usefull?

Best of luck!:wink:

Did you get the touchscreen working?

I’m considering getting one of these in lieu of one of the Android tablets scheduled to be out this fall.
