I have a custom Android (2.3) running on a Beagleboard xM. Currently we are trying to replace a small resistive touchscreen with a bigger, capacitive one. However we can't seem to get the touch working with our android. (The resistive always worked fine).
The kernel modules are loaded and the driver is running. The driver outputs the correct touch coordinates when the screen is pressed.
/proc/bus/input/devices contains these entries:
I: Bus=0003 Vendor=0eef Product=7458 Version=0210
N: Name="eGalax Inc. eGalaxTouch EXC7200-7458"

which are correct, according to the guide for the device.
When touching the screen android shows this in logcat:
V/EventHub(10978): /dev/input/event2 got: t0=1594, t1=229858, type=0, code=0, v=0

This also seems to be correct, the code 53 and 54 are for the X and Y coordinates.
However the android UI is not reacting to the touch inputs. Neither is our own app, nor the pointer painter from the development tools. Are the events not forwarded to the input dispatcher? The problem seems to be on the android side, but I cannot figure it out.
I hope someone can help me there or at least tell me where I can find additional information.
