Swapped axes when using touch display
Hello!I have connected a touch display to Windows 7, but unfortunately when I move finger in the right direction, the cursor moves to the bottom one and vice versa.If I use the built-in calibration and touch all the crosses, the touch gets completely crazy then (perhaps it is not expecting swapped axes).Is there anything I can do to make the touch working normally?Thanks,Jan

Actually I'm using the builtin Windows drivers.If I install the TouchKit it works precisely, but Windowsno longer recognize it as touch input, which I know is driver issue.However I wanted the builtin drivers to be able to work with generic USB touch input device when the axes are the other way than they should. I was hoping perhaps if there is any setting I miss which would allow me to switch.Anyway, I consider the calibration failure as a bug...Jan

I too am having this issue. I am using an iiyama usb touchscreen. I was hoping that installing the RC would have resolved this - but unfortunatley not. There is clearly a problem with the HID driver - I really do hope this gets sorted to enable all the touch capabilities - using mouse emulation with the touchkit driver misses out on all the cool swipe stuff. I have tried to find out what touch controller the iiyama touch screen use ( some places seem to suggest it uses elo technology) but I have not managed to get a HID driver that works. What touch screen are you having the issue with Jan? I am also having an issue in media Centre where the on screen keyboard is not visible ( this is probably a display driver issue rather than touch screen though). Steve

Hi Steve,I'm using the SmarTTouch 22"display XOFW225, but I pretty believe all thesedisplaysuse the same USB controller (http://touchkit.com/).I'm most probably going to put a device between the display and PC to fix the data comming out of the touch controller. However it is difficult to blame the built-in HID driver, when the device says this is X data, and this is Y and in fact it lies.Anyway I still think the calibration should handle this.Jan
