Crystal Touch on Linux

1 Overview
This document provides a brief set of instructions on setting up the Crystal Touch Panel to
work on a computer running Linux OS.

2 Procedure

Calibration
 The Crystal Touch is factory pre-calibrated. If for any reason you need to calibrate
the screen you will require the Crystal Touch Manager, which currently is available
only on Windows OS.

Adding a Rule
 Create a file lumio.rules and place in the /etc/udev/rule.d folder.
 Insert in the lumio.rules file the following text:

BUS=="usb", KERNEL=="event*", SYSFS{idVendor}=="202e",SYMLINK+="input/lumio"

Confirming a Driver

 Ensure that you have the driver evdev_drv.so installed on your computer as
without it the touchscreen won’t work.

ls /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/evdev_drv.so
