ELO Touchscreen on Linux?

 ELO Touchscreen on Linux?

Hello,

We have some touchscreens from ELO APR (Accoustic Pulse Recognition) Technology, and we bought some T-50... and we are having trouble getting them to recognize the touchscreens.

We tried to install the drivers from ELO, but they are precompiled only for x86. Tried to compile the opensourch driver evtouch, but we do not have development tools.

We got an C50LE from our provider, for testing... and still not a pretty picture. VIA CPU on the C50 is x86 compatible, so we should be able to use the driver provided by ELO, but the required library (libusb 1.0) is not present on the equipment, and there are no tools to build the library ourselves, and the tools for package management (to download/install a build enviroment) are missing to. Which is fine for a production equipment, but we are left with no options.

Just for kicks, I booted the C50 from an Ubuntu LiveCD (v11.04), and I was able to install the driver and get the touchscreen to work, but the C50 comes preinstalled with SLE11 (SuSe Enterprise), and I was not able to succeed using OpenSuse LiveCDs.

I guess I could just install Ubuntu, but I'm guessing that would leave without access to Wyse tools and (very important) support from Wyse.

So, to summarize.. I know the hardware works and it is able to work together, so the problem is Software... it there some way we can:

a) Get drivers pre-compiled for ARM, to install on the T50?
b) Get an updated libUSB for SLE, to use on the C50?
c) Firmware updates for either one?
d) other??

Help??
