If your system does not have these directories you will need to edit the Install script as discussed in the Other Options.
After installation completes, the MT 7 for Linux® s oftware no longer requires write access to these directories.
Normal Installation
Copy the tar.gz file into the directory where you want the package to reside, such as /etc or /opt. Issue the command tar xzf twscreen.<version>.tar.gz where <version> is a version number string of the tar.gz file. This creates the directory twscreen in the current directory. From there, go into the twscreen directory and issue the command ./Install. This script installs links in the Linux® and X Windows system for your sensor to work with your system.
Installing on Write-Protected Systems
The MT 7 for Linux® software requires access to a w riteable directory for runtime and configuration data. By default, it uses a 'data' directory in the twscreen directory. If you need to have the package in a
Change the definition of DataDir to the writeable directory. Save the changes and run the script. This creates the data directory where desired and creates a link in the package directory to the data directory.
Other Options
The MT 7 for Linux® software should install without other changes on most Linux® systems. However, if you have a customized directory structure or the installation script fails, you may need to edit the Install script and change one or more of the following script variables.
ConvertAtRead
The MT 7 for Linux® X input module translates raw t ouch data from the touch driver into the X Windows server display locations. Normally, the X server does this in two steps, first reading the raw input data from the input module and then having the module convert the coordinates as a second step. Some versions of the X.Org server code require that the input module return only converted coordinates in the single read step. This seems to apply only to early 1.4 versions of the server.
If you use this server, or if touch is inaccurate after calibration, change the ConvertAtRead value to "true".
To determine the version of your X server, issue the command X
