Hello everybody,
I just got my first A10-OlinuXino-LIME board with an A13-LCD4.3TS Display. I am running Debian on it and by now it works fine.
But I have problems calibrating the LCD. When logged in as olimex, I cannot open ts_calibrate. I get the message "ts_open: Permission denied". I am able to run ts_calibrate as super user, but as described in the manual, this doesn't take effect.
Can you help me?
Kind regards,
David
Logged as "olimex" user, check if you have shell variable TSLIB_CALIBFILE="/etc/pointercal".
Also, check if the /etc/pointercal has been refresh/overwritten by ts_calibrate.
If not, maybe it has created a new one elsewhere, such /usr/etc/pointercal or /usr/local/etc/pointercal.
In such case, move it or copy it at proper place or even better do some symbolic links to unique location.
Hi martinayotte,
thanks for your answer.

Yes, I do.

I am not sure. At least not sure if it worked properly. I run "ls -l /etc/pointercal" after the ts_calibrate and the time shown there is actualized. That means, the file has been changed, doesn't it?
But if I have a look at the file by "cat /etc/pointercal", the output is not the same as at the end of ts_calibrate, where it writes "Calibration constants: ..."
In fact it seems, as if the numbers where only scrambled. Is this normal?

There is a file /usr/etc/pointercal. But after running ts_calibrate as super user, the date, that is listed under "ls -l /usr/etc/pointercal" did not change.
Kind regards

Hello everybody,
what worked was to copy /etc/pointercal to /usr/etc/pointercal . Apparently /etc/pointercal is the pointercal file for root and /usr/etc/pointercal for the user, isn't it? I don't quite understand it.
Also still interesting: Why can't I run ts_calibrate without being super user?
Kind Regards
David
