Hey,
I installed Ubuntu on my Archos 101 G9. First Ubuntu was not willing to boot but I changed the zimage like it's recommend here and afterwards it works.
But if Ubuntu booted the touchscreen still doesn't work. Not as touchscreen, not as touchpad. It doesn't react on any touches. The only reaction I get is if I press the PowerButton (the shutdown-menu appears) or the volume buttons (the animation of making the sound louder oder quieter appars).
I read nearly the complete 25 pages but didn't get any idea why it doesn't work in my case.
Thanks for your help!
Best regards,
Erik
It seems that the ubuntu build you downloaded does not have touchscreen driver for you. Which ubuntu did you download?

I did it once with the V0.2-Image from this post but tried it also with the image from this post. Both didn't work
Hi, in fact there is not touchscreen on ubuntu: it is rather a touchpad: you have to move the mouse and to click .
This is why i am not using ubuntu (have to use mouse with touchpad even to type on keyboard)

False. Newer builds have touchscreen working for most screens.

To find newer builds, go to the last pages and look for download links there.

It means no one of the developers have that touchscreen. You must fix it yourself. I can't guide it because I do not have the skill.

Yes, been using linux on the desktop for more than 10 years now. Mostly developing, mostly mathematical related. I've used different distro's, but the last 3 years I've settled on ubuntu as it is quick to set up and all software I need is supported for it.

There exists something like VMWare, that allows to run one os inside an other. This works both ways. What also is possible is to use wine in linux, with it you can run windows programs from your linux desktop. This works very well, I use it to manage my tracks in MapSource (a program for garmin sport gps).

It could be, there are alot of different ways to run windows/linux together, you will find what best works you. It is for instance also possible to install the two next to each other, then at boot you choose the os you want to boot into..
There exists a couple of different ubuntu forums. Normally you should get a lot of help. When I got into linux, there existed a linux user group (LUG) at my university. You might see if a LUG exists near you.
I use VMware workstation. It's good Its worth the money Im able to run Ubuntu on Windows using this.

Using linux for gaming, it's like using a F/A-18 Hornet, for transporting pets
and about the windows thing, you can even install WINDOWS on windows, if u know what i mean
haha totally agreed D4rKn3sSyS
i use and ubuntu and win7 they are different on many points but imo
on topic
if you want gaming and you like windows interface just stay on it
still if you want to try it ubuntu play alot of windows games (not fully) like no shaddows and directX things..
linux is nice but you need "terminal work" not like windows with ok buttons...
up to you always !

While technical there is no issue to run it on the mini. I think it is more useful to run this on a tablet. For example the eee pad transformer with dock. This 'transforms' your transformer into a netbook..
There is a method that involves setting up a vnc server. This works well, but does not run at the fastest possible speed (though, it is doable). XDA members are working on a native implementation. This would make tegra2 tablets dual boot. Seems like best of both worlds.
Playing and browsing in the sofa: android. Continuing your project on the go or in the library: linux desktop (for example ubuntu).

Good news !
I have a working joydev kernel module !
just type in a terminal:
Code:
su
insmod joydev.ko
My USB joystick is detected ("dmesg" to get the info) so I installed the Gamepad IME app https://market.android.com/details?id=de.killig.gamepadime and selected it as my main input.
But then I just tried to use my gamepad in an emulator and it doesn't work. So if someone can try with another gamepad it may work, I guess.
some better news
Things getting better !
I decided to compile myself the joydev kernel module using the latest Samsung sources, file is attached BTW.
Code:
So my joystick is detected now!
<6>[52193.706763] input: DragonRise Inc. Generic USB Wheel as /devices/platform/s3c_otghcd/usb2/2-1/2-1:1.0/input/input8
<6>[52193.708762] generic-usb 0003:0079:0008.0003: input: USB HID v1.10 Joystick [DragonRise Inc. Generic USB Wheel ] on usb-s3cotg-1/input0
I decided to use "the Gamepad IME" app from the market but at laucnh I had a "0 gamepads detected" error Weird as my joystick was detected as a device !
I decided to check the java sources of Gamepad IME (http://sven.killig.de/android/N1/2.2/usb_host/)
and noticed an error there as it started to check to joy1 and not joy0.
I have zero knowledge of the Android SDK so I did it the hard way :
Code:
chmod 777 /dev/input/js0
ln -s /dev/input/js0 /dev/input/js1
So now Gamepad IME is detecting my joystick !
But then I tried to use it on N64droid but the gamepad has no impact on key mapping (user input method is checked).
So it's a dead end for now, so any help to point me in the right direction would be appreciated!
Thanks
Wow this is awesome. Looks like we might actually get a working module. Will this work with cm7?

It was made using the Samsung kernel sources, and I don't know much about CM7 and its kernel origins.
when i type insmod joydev.ko it says init_module '/system/lib/modules/joydev.ko' failed (Exec format error)
So I guess its not compatible

I did this because the Nexus One has a built in device that gets detected as js0. I modified it and updated it in the Market.

A good test is to switch a text input field to the Gamepad IME and press all the gamepad sticks/buttons. Since I send normal key presses and DPAD directions, this should be visible.
But I have another problem with yongzh's NESoid emulator: Somehow a SGS2 system process seems to send button events besides the ones I send, and they are erroneously detected.
Although I don't have a joypad to use for this, I appreciate your development work to help get this to work on SGS2. Maybe this effort can get more visibility and help if moved to the development section? Or start a new thread focused on the development since the OP is a question.
I posted in the dev section some updates: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1240278 as my gamepad is working now on SGSII.
Can anyone compile joydev.ko for AOSP based roms like MIUI and CM7? Or mabye someone can guide me in compiling this?
EDIT: Whoa... sorry. I didn't realize how old this thread was. I need to get more sleep!

I thought maybe my install was corrupted, so I tried 2 more times, and even ran ACMEUninstaller to redo the whole process...but it still thinks my touchpad is a GT-i9100.
what should I do?
I think it's meant to do that for app compatibility.
in that rom the developer probably edited the build.prop (found in system/app) to GT-I9100 so that a lot of apps are usable on your touchpad.
So in a way it should benefit you

The build.prop file has been changed to be able to play Gameloft games, mostly.
Rev Kyle has a video showing how it's changed.
Do a search and you'll find plenty of info on this.
Touchpad
Hi all
I tested almost all the Xron Roms from start to end with most of the apps and games. 2.9.1 is the best.
give it a try.......

As stated above it is done on purpose in order to allow more apps and games to work successfully from the market. Enjoy it, it's a great ROM with great developers that will only get better!
Since it's a device that wasn't initially built for Android, not many apps would install, much less run, on it if we said it was a TouchPad.... no apps were designed with that in mind and the Market definitely wasn't.
The build.prop was edited to reflect an android device that most programs will agree and download off the market. Since the Touchpad is a WebOS, it is not to be known as an Android device. You can edit the build.prop to any device, but the Samsung seems to be the better choice of all.

I also get this but only for one app. Its the gameloft brick breaker game. Because its only visible on the one game I suspect it is a problem in the coding of the game
I have only one app that shows up small and that's adao file manager. But I knew that was gonna happen.

You do not install anything other than the one app. You run a few commands to start it. Then you open the app. to connect to the Ubuntu "server." it is actually running in the background like an app. would, but you can exit at any time. Read more on the link that I posted along in this thread.

Try this, root remix os and find in system/lib/module/kernel folder or file name keyboard or touchpad. Rename the file or folder with ".backup" after name of that file, reboot remix os
