1.QuickStart Guide for touch screen driver and calibration utility
==================================================================

1) The controller needs to be attached to a serial port and you need to know
 that serial ports name.

2)Install the files
   Login as root ,run setup with "./setup_s" 

3) Calibrate your touchscreen
   run calibrate tool with "./calibrate_u"


That's All! 


2.Software Component
=======================
Our Touchscreen Software package is composed of the following programs:

          gentouch_drv.o             Our Touchscreen driver for XFree86.

          calibrate_s                Our touchscreen calibration program.

	  genpanel_s		     Our control panel 

	  README.txt                 It's me!


=====================
3.Problem solution
=====================
1)Permission denied:
  Login to the system console as root and do it again.
2)Can't exit to a text console:
  If your system is running in graphics mode,you must exit to a text console
 prompt first.If your system is set up to automatically start the X window
 system at boot time an provide a praphical login screen,you will need to shut
 down the window system display manager.On many Linux systems,this can be
 accomplished by running the command: 
   #init 3
   If this does not work,you will need to locate and kill the display manager
 process,which is usually one of:xdm,gdm,kdm,or prefdm.
3)To verify that the touchmonitor is connected correctly to the PC and that it
 is functioning correctly, type the following command in an X terminal window: 

   od -h -w10 </dev/ttyS0 # for COM1
   od -h -w10 </dev/ttyS1 # for COM2 

Touch the screen and you should see a group of numbers scrolling down the
 screen. 
4)Not the above
You can just run reporter and email the reporter.tgz which gathered by reporter to us,then we can
 find the problem for you.
