uep — eGalax touchscreen driver
Contents
Bugs
uep cannot act like sysmouse(4), as sysmouse(4) does not support absolute motion events. Debian August 5, 2018 UEP(4)
Description
The uep driver provides support for the eGalax onscreen touch panels.
The driver is a stub. It just probes and attaches to USB device, creates a device entry and feeds
reassembled packets from the hardware to it. Depending on compile-time kernel options it supports either
native or evdev operation modes.
To get the mouse working in X(7) in native mode, install ports/x11-drivers/xf86-input-egalax.
To get the mouse working in X(7) in evdev mode, install ports/x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev.
Files
uep creates a blocking pseudo-device file, /dev/uep0 in native mode or /dev/input/eventN in evdev mode.
