For reference the binary page faults, but building the driver seems to work on 6.3. I had to install the compat5x to get some software to work, but my problem now is Xorg won't recognize the drivers. Albeit the drivers are old, and for xfree86-4... I'd like to build them if I can't do anything else. What I'd like answers to are: 1. How does Xorg find the drivers? Does it just go searching the directory? 2. What is the compatibility between Xorgs, and even Xorg and XFree86? 3. Is there a difference between Xorg drivers across platforms? And maybe 4. Has anyone got a driver for the eGalax touchscreen already working? Thanks guys
