(Notes: This Guide will work for any UBUNTU installation upto Karmic (9.10). Unfortunately in Lucid, the developers have tried to provide native support for Touchsdcreen and Nvidia but it has turned out to be sloppy. And there is no xorg file as well. So viable options are to uninstall nv and nouveau drivers and install Nvidia and the run sudo nvidia-xconfig from command line. After that follow steps 4 to 17)
INSTALLING FEDORA 12 on HP tx1000 laptop (touchscreen + fingerprint)
ð Good news galore :: WLAN, Modem and fingerprint works out of the box. And behold, behold... there is a proper GUI Process with instructions on usage of fingerprint during to login and fingerprints can be enrolled through GUI in Account information..... so that leaves us with only Touchsscreen)
1. Install Fedora
2. Install NVIDIA if u want and run nvidia-xconfig with root priviledge ifu really want 3d graphics. I would advice not to take this step if not 3d required as nvidia usually breaks xorg 1.7.x
3. Open terminal, take root priviledge, enter command "init 3" to go to command line
4. In CLI enter Xorg –configure to create xorg.conf file
5. Download eGalaxDriver from website http://home.eeti.com.tw/web20/eGalaxTouchDriver/linuxDriver.htm
(download for kernel 2.6.xx)
6. Extract tarball and run setup.sh from terminal with sudo
7. Restart Computer and run (with Alt+F2) "eGalaxTouch" (without quotes and linux is case sensitive)
8. Configure your touchscreen
9. Open xorg.conf with following command
