:I have a few UnyTouch 15" LCD TouchScreens.  Here's how I got them to work.
:These instructions are the basic instructions included with the driver.  If you get lost, follow those.
:My units are USB.  If you have PS2 or Serial devices, follow the instructions included with the driver.


==Downloading the drivers==
:Drivers can be downloaded from http://210.64.17.162/web20/eg/drivers.htm.
:The driver I used (32bit) is http://210.64.17.162/web20/drivers/touch_driver/Linux/TouchKit-1.08.1227-32b-k26.tar.gz
:Here's how I did it.  My MD is moon80, yours may vary.  First, as root, ssh to your MD (from your core)
 sudo ssh moon80
:now, make sure your in /root
 cd /root 
:download the file (below is for 32bit)
 wget http://210.64.17.162/web20/drivers/touch_driver/Linux/TouchKit-1.08.1227-32b-k26.tar.gz
:unarchive the file:
 tar -xvvf TouchKit-1.08.1227-32b-k26.tar.gz
 cd TouchKit
==Installing the drivers==
:First, we have to copy the driver into the right place
 cp egalax_drv.so /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input
==modifying /etc/X11/xorg/conf==
:There are 2 main modifications to the xorg.conf file.
:first define the driver as an inputdevice.  Add this section:

 Section “InputDevice”
     Identifier  “EETI”
     Driver     "egalax" 
     Option     “Device”     “usbauto”
     Option     “Parameters” “/var/lib/egalax.cal”
     Option     “ScreenNo”   “0”
 EndSection
:Second, is to add this section to the serverlayout.  Add this line to your [ServerLayout] section:
 InputDevice    "EETI"       "SendCoreEvents"
:That's it for xorg.conf.  Restart X, (simply reboot the MD is easiest)
==Configuring the TouchScreen==
:Once your MD comes back up, boot up KDE Desktop, and open a terminal.
 cd /root/TouchKit
 sudo ./TouchKit
:This will load the touchkit configuration, allow you to calibrate the screen, etc.
==Beta Drivers==
:The download site has some beta drivers for xorg 1.3 / 32bit.  From what I can see, it simply automates the above.  I did not try them as this worked perfectly.
