===============================================
3. Installing the Elo Touchscreen Serial Driver 
===============================================

Important:
==========
a.) Must have administrator access rights on the Linux machine to         
    install the Elo Touchscreen Serial Driver. 
 
b.) Ensure all earlier Elo drivers are uninstalled from the system. 
    Follow the uninstallation steps from the old driver's readme.txt 
    file to remove the old driver completely.   

c.) Do not extract the downloaded binary package on a Windows system.

d.) The environment should be setup for building kernel modules. 
    Check if necessary packages like gcc, make, kernel header files
    or kernel sources are installed. Refer to other documentation on 
    setting up the system for building loadable kernel modules.

e.) Motif 3.0(libXm.so.3) or 4.0(libXm.so.4) library is required to 
    perform standard touchscreen calibration (elova) and use the 
    graphical control panel (cpl). Openmotif or lesstif or libmotif 
    installation packages provide the required libXm.so.3 or 
    libXm.so.4 library.




Step I:
-------

Copy the elo driver files from the binary folder to the default elo folder. Compile the kernel module and copy it to the default elo folder. Change the permissions for all the elo driver files. Copy and place the X display Elo component file in the proper location.

  a.) Copy the driver files to /etc/opt/elo-ser folder location.

       # cp -r ./bin-serial/  /etc/opt/elo-ser
       # cd /etc/opt/elo-ser


  b.) Compile and build the kernel module "elok_s.ko" or "elok_s.o"
      using the compile instructions in readme_compile.txt. Check 
      if the kernel module compiles without any errors and then copy it  
      to /etc/opt/elo-ser/setup/ folder. 

       # cd /etc/opt/elo-ser/elok_s-source
