Hidtouch driver version 9.04.04
26 May 2009 — 08:00
It has been ready for a while, but I needed some time to write a decent user manual.
This version provide a better positionning, using data collected from the four corners for calibration.
A small tool has been packaged to ease collect data.
From now files are on the Sourceforge project page.

Almost done...
01 April 2009 — 00:00
The debugging was painful because I wanted to be too smart... but I finally got what I wanted. Even if it's not as perfect as I expected, It's quite satisfying.
Now I'm writing a better manual. And I have to package a small and crude but necessary tool to find out some of the driver setting.
If you are brave enough, all is on the SourceForge CVS server.
Hidtouch : some news and a roadmap
20 January 2009 — 09:30
I have not so much spare time in January, so the new version takes time to be written. However, I already could set up a SourceForge space, and the CVS is hosting the current version of the driver.
Roadmap
The next version of the driver will be more accurate in the cursor positionning. Then I will fix a problem when the screen is rotated using xrandr.
Then I will take time to produce a package for Ubuntu. I can support two other systems without reformating, so I plan to support debian and mandriva.

Sporniket Nostalgie Sans typeface v8.12
22 Decembre 2008 — 08:00
An old project started 3 years ago, but I could work seriously on it only this year.
The design is freely inspired by my old Atari ST system font, without being constrained by the 8×16 pixel matrix.
This typeface supports some iso-latin encoding (ISO-8859-1 et ISO-8859-15) and some general ponctuation sign.

Xorg driver for HID usb touchscreens
30 Octobre 2008 — 00:38
I recently bought a laptop based on Clévo TN120R. The touchscreen is seen by Linux as a regular HID device, not an input device.
Fortunately I could write a driver that take can handle the touchscreen. There is not click event yet but the cursor moves as expected.
