Hi there!

I happen to have a Dell S2340T multitouch monitor (quite an expensive toy btw) which has a touch controller from 3M. It works fine in Windows (which I don't have any plans to use), sort of works in linux (which is my primary work environment) and does not work at all in OS X (not a big deal but it would be cool to have it).

L USB or Serial port for Touchscreen l Windows XP / Vista / 7, Mac OS X, or Linux Kernal 2.6 l Windows driver supports up to 4 touch monitors per PC Replaces part numbers LCDSA151-5RS-USB-OF, LCDSA151-5RS-USB-PM, LCDSA151-5RS-USB-RM, LCDSA151-5RS-S-OF, LCDSA151-5RS-S-PM, LCDSA151-5RS-S-RM. Technical Specifications Dimensional Drawings User Guide. The 8MP Elo Edge Connect Webcam can support applications from employee check-in and virtual assistants to AR/VR experiences. 4202L, 4602L, 5502L, 5553L, 6553L Touchscreen Signage. 8MP (3264 x 2448) Full HD (1920 x 1080) HD (1280 x 720) VGA (640 x 480) Video Format. MAC-OS X 10.4.8 or later Android OS 7.1 or later.

So I set out on the search for a driver and have figured out the following:

There is some old driver from TouchBase that sucks. I mean, it's using some stinky installer that pollutes the OS X root file system, it has the UI from 90s. More than that, it's not signed and does not support my touchscreen. Even adding the USB Vendor ID to its Info.plist did not fix a thing
There is some new trial driver from TouchBase that should work for most devices but is limited to 100 touches (a demo version). Well, I didn't want to grovel before them and sign up at their stupid site. And still, even if I patched the driver to remove the trial limitations, I would have to sign it with my certificate and there would be no legal way for me to distribute it on the internetz
There is a full version of the TouchBase driver that costs $100. Are they fucking crazy? On the other hand, I would do the same. See, home users don't care, multitouch displays are very rare, and people are used to pirating sofrware. But one could raise quite some money selling the driver to the workshops that build customized Apple computers (like ModBook) or car PCs.
There are some drivers for other touchscreens, but they're for the old single-touch devices

Doesn't look promising. Now, one may wonder 'WTF ain't it working out of the box? It's a HID device, should work everywhere'. Well, there are two problems:

Multitouch devices have the new HID event type (called HID usages) for the Digitizer class which the OS X does not support in IOKit. Actually, since it uses a new HID class (different to single-touch monitors), it is not even classified as a touchscreen by the OS (rather as a multitouch trackpad)
The touchscreen gets recognized by the generic HID driver as a mouse. And here comes the problem - when a finger is released, the device reports the pointer to be at the origin (point <0, 0>) which causes the cursor to be stuck at the top left corner

I decided to learn about the HID system in OS X and write a driver. I started with the sample code from the HID documentation and added some event debugging. I found out that the device reports the events both as a digitizer and as a pointing device. So for now I prepared a demo app in Qt5 that can recognize multiple touches and draw points in different colors when the screen is touched. Have a look at it in action:

The source code is at https://github.com/astarasikov/osx-multitouch-demo .

Well, looks like I should figure out how to turn this into a device driver. I will probably need to figure out how to enumerate HID devices based on their class and make a kext file (Kernel EXTension) for XNU (the kernel used in OS X) and then.. sell my driver for some $20, right?

Elo TouchSystems Releases Touchscreen Drivers for Linux and Mac

El TouchSystems released new set of drivers for touchscreens today including Linux and Mac. These include USB and Serial. Also XPe.

ELO OFFERS NEW TOUCH DRIVERS FOR LINUX AND MAC OS X

New Drivers Complement Elo’s Extensive Range of Flexible Offerings

October 2006 – Elo TouchSystems, the global leader in touch technology and a division of Tyco Electronics Corporation, has developed a new range of touch drivers for both Linux and Mac OS X. These new offerings complement Elo’s already extensive range of touch drivers for Windows, Macintosh and legacy operating systems such as DOS and OS/2.

According to Software Engineering Manager, Peter Studt, Elo now has the most comprehensive and flexible family of touch drivers in its market segment. “We are committed to the design and development of contemporary drivers to support all versions of current and future operating systems; in fact, any and all solutions that add value to our customer’s interface with touch technology,” says Studt.

The Driving Range
Elo offers touch drivers for a complete range of operating systems.
· Full Microsoft Windows support including Windows XP, XP Embedded (XPe), 2000 and CE
· Legacy Windows operating system support including Windows NT, 98, 95, 3.x and ME
· Three levels of Linux support
· Mac OS X and Mac OS 9.x
· Legacy OS (OS/2, DOS, Unix, QNX, SUN and other Unix drivers)
Drivers are available with serial and/or USB touch interface (where supported).

Three Tiers for Linux
Elo’s new Linux drivers are offered in three tiers:
Open/Public: This public driver was developed and is maintained by the Linux community. The developer/end-user is free to modify the driver and is responsible for the support/development of the software. It is ideal for customers who build their own systems.
Custom/Kernel: This unique and stable driver is designed, supported and modified by Elo. This is the perfect system for customers who require an “out-of-the-box” solution.
Unified: This is a blend of Open/Public and Custom/Kernel and is ideal for customers that wish to modify the code but have limited resources.

In-house Development
“Elo produces its core driver software in-house,” Elo Director of Product Management, Michael Bartelmess, confirms. “And this gives us a distinct advantage that we pass along in the quality and consistency of our products to value-added resellers (VARs), systems integrators (SIs) and, finally, the end-users themselves.”

By producing touchmonitors, the touchscreen technology within the monitors and the software drivers for the touch function, Elo is able to optimise the functionality of the total solution. It also gives customers a single point of contact to resolve any potential conflicts.
“Our in-depth knowledge of driver operation is a must for effective technical support,” adds Bartelmess. ”It also gives us the flexibility to develop custom solutions and the ability to quickly add features and address any problems. In addition, we are able to ensure a commonality between drivers produced for the various operating systems.” Bartelmess believes that this unique in-house development, combined with the company’s innate innovation and customer-centric commitment, ensures that VARs and SIs find Elo touch drivers far easier to integrate, support and sell, saving them time and money. “It also makes life easier for the end-user,” Bartelmess explains, “because our products are far easier to use.”
