Hey guys, I am really desperate trying to use the Sharp "Aquos Board" on linux, with the multi-touch features, I have the driver for windows and Mac Os X, but I cant find it for Linux.

I tried ubuntu, fedora, centos, mint, debian, all in 64-bits, the most compatible until now its fedora, I also tried to install .exe with Wine, I installed Touchegg, I used ndiswrapper to install drivers from windows, .inf and .sys, still doesnt work.

(Fedora recognized 3 finger and 4 fingers but only for windows gestures)

I am trying to use my own paint app, with touch events, javafx. Works well in windows.

Thanks.

Installing drivers through Wine on Linux won't buy you anything. Wine is a compatibility layer for regular user applicatons, not for drivers.

As to Linux support for touchscreens, you may be hard pressed to find anyone supporting it. Touchscreens haven't really been a big part of most desktop/server distros. Perhaps try looking at Android or other derivative distros, they should have better support for this type of application (although they're generally a pain to work with outside of the handheld environment). Good luck.
