PenMount Linux X Window drivers & utilities

Please check your X Window XFree86 version first and copy the corresponded PenMount driver to 
the floppy disk, then follow up the installation procedures as below to install Linux driver 
and calibration utilities.

For Example:
If your X Window System XFree86 version is 3.3.6.x, you could easily find out there is a directory
named "XWindow_336", copy file "PenMount.tar" in this directory to a diskette.


A. Driver installation procedures:

  1. Login system with "root"
  2. Input "cd /"
  3. Copy the "penmount.tar" to root.
  4. Input "tar xvf penmount.tar"
  5. Edit "vi /etc/X11/XF86Config"

     a. In the Section "Files", add a statement :

        ModulePath "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules"

     b. Add a Section "Module" :

        Section "Module"
            Load "xf86PenMount.so"
        EndSection

     c. Under the Section "Pointer",  add another Section "XInput" :
       ¡]Here we suppose that Mouse is connecting to COM1, Touch screen controller is connecting 
         to COM2)

        Section "XInput"
            SubSection "PenMount"
                Port "/dev/ttyS1"
                DeviceName "PenMount"
                MinX 10
                MaxX 1000
                MinY 10
                MaxY 1000
            EndSubSection

            SubSection "Mouse"
                Port "/dev/ttyS0"
                DeviceName "Mouse"
                Protocol "Auto"
                AlwaysCore
            EndSubSection
        EndSection

  6. Edit "vi ~/.Xclients"
     Find "# added your favorite programs here... ^_^" first, and 
     add a statement list below under this column:
   
     xsetpointer penmount

     Note:
        If the ".Xclients" file is not existing, you must generate it and add two 
        statements as below:

	  xsetpointer penmount
  	  exec /usr/X11/xinit/Xclients
	
        By the way, do not forget to give an executable permission to this file by the way:
	
	  chmod +x .Xclients

  1. Copy the "libqt.tgz" file to the "/usr/lib" directory.
  2. In the "/usr/lib" directory, input "tar zxvf libqt.tgz".
  3. In the "/usr/lib" directory, input "ldconfig".
  4. Copy the "PenCal.tgz" to root.
  5. In the root, input "tar zxvf PenCal.tgz".

 
Run X window and do calibration when the first time installation.

  Input "startx" to start X window.

  In the X window system, open a terminal window and input 

  "usr/local/pencal/PenCal"

  the display will appear a PenCal window, follow up the red points to do calibration, total 4
