Touchscreen and Driver Installed but tslib Cannot Calibrate

I have cross-compiled the latest commit of tslib from github ( https://github.com/kergoth/tslib/commits/master ). My touchscreen is hooked up to my embedded board and I enabled the drivers from the vendor. When I boot and look at the output of 'cat /dev/input/touchscreen' I can see plenty of output being generated from moving my fingers around the screen. The Kernel also outputs to the console nicely formatted messages for 'finger1' and 'finger2'.

I am not able to calibrate however. When I set my environment variables like shown below and run ts_calibrate, it spits out the message 'xres = 640, yres = 480 tslib: Selected device is not a touchscreen (must support ABS and KEY event types)' and does nothing more...

So Linux knows that my device exists and I can see scrolling output, but tslib can't calibrate. What am I doing wrong and how can I fix this?

Code:

---

# ls -rlt /dev/input/touchscreen
    lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root             6 Jan 17 21:06 /dev/input/touchscreen -> event1
    # chmod 777 /dev/input/touchscreen
    # chmod 777 /dev/input/event1

    export PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin
    ts_calibrate
    xres = 640, yres = 480
    tslib: Selected device is not a touchscreen (must support ABS and KEY event types)

I added the following lines to the driver so that ts_calibrate (tslib calibration utility) did not complain about the device not being a touchscreen.



set_bit(EV_KEY, aura.input_dev->evbit);
set_bit(ABS_X, aura.input_dev->absbit);
set_bit(ABS_Y, aura.input_dev->absbit);
set_bit(BTN_TOUCH, aura.input_dev->keybit);



I can now run the ts_calibrate utility and the screen displays a cursor and some text ‘Touch Cursor to Calibrate’. I can see the cursor but cannot seem to get it to accept my finger or a stylus as input right on top of it.



# ts_calibrate
xres = 640, yres = 480



I can also run the ts_test utility and touch the screen which causes tslib to print some events. It certainly acknowledges the touch events but the X and Y values are always 0, and the pressure value seems to be locked at the max value.

# ts_test

Any thoughts on why I am getting no real data here?
