Native Linux kernel module and tools for eBeam pointing devices
From Wikipedia :
eBeam is an interactive whiteboard system developed by Luidia, Inc. that transforms any standard whiteboard or other surface into an interactive whiteboard.
Luidia provides an eBeam Education Suite for Linux.
This project provides a native way to use your device like a simple pointing device under Linux. It use a kernel module and 2 user-space tools :
Module : ebeam-module
The kernel module link the usb device to the input subsystem, creating a generic event device exposed to user space. Xorg’s evdev input driver automatically use it like a tablet.
User space : ebeam-tools
- ebeam_calibrator is a graphical calibration tool.
- ebeam_state is a command-line utility to save and restore calibration data.
Warning : these 2 executables need to be setuid root. You should audit the source code and build it on your own system before using it.
