[Gumstix-users] Touchscreen blues..

[Christian R. <chr...@nd...>]

Hi Guys,

I want to use the gumstix to replace the brain of my hamster and be able 
to remote control him over the wifi-port from a handheld gumstix unit 
using the consoleLCD-vx board. 

Kidding.

I am at a loss. I've got the gumstix LCD pack (verdex with the 
consoleLCD-vx, Samsung LCD) 16-bit color mode seems to be pie in the 
sky. Tried everything. Patches , etc. followed all the forum gaff but it 
all ends without conclusion. Has anyone had ANY joy with this. I've on 
revision 1578 (latest, think thats right) and no joy. Is there a 
revision that does work?

The touchscreen seems to have no drivers present at all. I've read that 
since kernel 2.6.12 something broke and "we don't know why". There is 
talk of hacking the ts2003.c driver on some remote site and also talk of 
missing pull-up resistors and i2c busses not working. My question is .. 
how can they sell it in this form where the stuff just doesn't work? Am 
I missing something obvious?  Is there a different revision i should be 
using to get this stuff going?

Help please!!

Kind Regards,
Chris.
