Subject: support of touchscreen reported as eGalax but is not working

Hi

I recently got a used USB touchscreen and try to get it working
It looks like a eGalax type but not really is :-(

I am using kernel 2.6.28.2 but also tried the one that comes with
fedora 10 (2.6.27) When I connect the touchscreen dmesg shows

usb 2-1: new low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 13
usb 2-1: string descriptor 0 read error: -32
usb 2-1: string descriptor 0 read error: -32
usb 2-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
usb 2-1: string descriptor 0 read error: -32
generic-usb: probe of 0003:0EEF:0001.000B failed with error -32
usb 2-1: New USB device found, idVendor=0eef, idProduct=0001
usb 2-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0

lsusb -vv for the device gives

/proc/bus/usb/devices gives

E:  Ad=81(I) Atr=03(Int.) MxPS=   8 Ivl=5ms

I compared this output to other eGalax and discovered some differences
like that iManufactur and iProduct is not filled also
bInterfaceSubClass and bInterfaceProtocol

The kernel is not installing any input device for the touchscreen
so /proc/bus/input/devices does not show the touchscreen

To check if the thing is actually working I did a quick test on XP
and there it works.

Any chance to get this thing working?
I can test any patch maybe required and provide more information if
needed. If am wrong on this mailing list please tell me where
I should post this question.

Thanks for any help

Max
