Arch Linux 4.4.46-1-lts X.Org X Server 1.19.1 I have been using the same installation / touch screen for several years, it all worked fine until today! I decided to do a fresh install and now X11 refuses to use the touch screen: (EE) libinput bug: Device 'DIALOGUE INC PenMount USB' does not meet tablet criteria. Ignoring this device. I recently installed Android x86 and was able to connect my Penmount touchscreen with this command: inputattach -daemon -pm9k /dev/ttyS3 But the y and x axis are reversed and the calibration app in android x86 doesn't fix it. 2.2 Click “Yes” button, and will uninstall Penmount USB touch driver. Classification System and Application FAQ on XPAC No. 1-004-03 Author WeiKai Version 1.0.1 Date 2011/6/29 Page 6/6.
I have a Kohjinsha SH6 which has a touch screen with the Penmount PM6000
chipset. I am unable to calibrate the touch screen, and input seems
rather erratic.
The calibration programs (gCalib, std-calib) in
http://www.penmount.com/Download/Driver/PenMount/PenMount%20Ubuntu%207.10%20Driver%20V2.0.1.tar
does not react to touch screen events at all. The penmount driver in
that package does not load at all:
(II) LoadModule: 'penmount'
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input//penmount_drv.so
(II) Module penmount: vendor='X.Org Foundation'
compiled for 4.3.99.902, module version = 1.3.0
Module class: X.Org XInput Driver
ABI class: X.Org XInput driver, version 0.5
(EE) module ABI major version (0) doesn't match the server's version (2)
(II) UnloadModule: 'penmount'
(II) Unloading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input//penmount_drv.so
(EE) Failed to load module 'penmount' (module requirement mismatch, 0)
The xserver-xorg-input-penmount driver from Ubuntu loads OK, but
calibration is still unresponsive.
Versions:
Ubuntu ver. 8.04
Linux kernel ver. 2.6.24-16-generic
xserver-xorg ver. 7.3+10ubuntu10
xserver-xorg-input-penmount ver. 1.2.1-2
Penmount driver details from /proc/bus/input/devices:
I: Bus=0003 Vendor=14e1 Product=6000 Version=0001
N: Name='DIALOGUE INC PenMount USB'
P: Phys=usb-0000:00:1d.3-2/input0
S: Sysfs=/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.3/usb4/4-2/4-2:1.0/input/input2
Do I have to wait for penmount to release a new driver, or is there a
way of compiling their version with the current x.org? Some source code
is available in the tar file referenced above.

Hide the bezel graphic
*Note if you used the new X-Plane installer, you do not need to perform the following bezel process.
Follow the instructions in the Reality-XP user guide for hiding the bezel. Essentially, you just need to go into the aircraft folder and edit the 'RealityXP.GTN' file and change the 'nobezel = false' to 'nobezel = true'

NOTE: If the GTN750 buttons and knobs are not working, please check to make sure you have selected the correct GTN device to setup and that this matches the device type setting in the RealSimGear plugin menu.
