Hello,

I have installed dsl 3.1 , it working fine , I compiled elo driver also but following steps , I donot have same directory for copy elo_drv.o file following directory.

/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/input

I donot find above directory. Please Guide Us.

=============================
Linux Elo Driver Installation
=============================

Notes:

(a) Verify that all earlier Elo drivers are uninstalled from the
system.

(b) You must have administrator access rights on your Linux machine
to install the Elo Linux USB Driver Package.

Steps:

I. Copy the elo driver files from the installed directory to the Elo
directory.

> mv <Installed directory>/binaries /elo
> cd /elo
> tar -xf loadelo.tar

For XFree86 version 4.30
> cp /elo/elo_drv.o /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/input

For XFree86 version 4.20
> cp /elo/elo_drv.o_4.20 /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/input/elo_drv.o

II. Browse to <elo extracted directory>/wrapper.

(a) If you are using a 2.4 non-smp kernel, then
>mv elousb_2.4.o elousb.o
>make -f Makefile

(b)If you are using a 2.4 smp kernel, then
>mv elousb_2.4smp.o elousb.o
>make -f Makefile

©If you are using a 2.6 smp kernel, then
>mv elousb_2.6smp.ko elousb.ko
>make -f Makefile

Note that the resultant "elousb.o" or "elousb.ko" file is
automatically copied to the "/elo" directrory by Makefile.

Verify that the all files in the /elo directory have execute
permissions. To change permissions use

> chmod 777 *

III. Modify the X configuration file. This file is located in the
/etc/X11 directory.

Add an Elo device configuration section:

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "elo"
Driver "elo"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/elo"
Option "AlwaysCore"
EndSection

Now, add the elo device to the ServerLayout section:

InputDevice "elo" "SendCoreEvents"

IV. Confirm that the following directory is present:

/dev/input

if it is not, create it:

mkdir /dev/input

V. Install the elousb module by running the following command:

>./install.sh

I'm using an XFree86 touchscreen module too. I put my module driver in /usr/X11R6/lib/modules and it works just fine.
