Touchscreen only works as primary monitor?

[2Kewl]

Thanks so much for this great application.

I'm trying out Touch Buddy on a LG 17" LCD USB touchscreen monitor L1730SF (UPDD). But the touchscreen only works if it is set to be the primary monitor? If I set it to be the secondary monitor it sends the mouse presses to the other (primary) screen?

Is there something basic I am missing? In the Pointer Device properties I get options Monitor 1, Monitor 2, Left, Right, Top Right etc etc. It is currently set to Monitor 2.

If I set the touchscreen as the primary, Touch Buddy works fine, but then of course Falcon 4 wants to run on the primary monitor on top of Touch Buddy.

I'm running my main screen and the touchscreen off a Nvidia 7900GS with NView enabled.

Thank you.

This is a touchscreen driver issue. You need to tell the drivers that the touchscreen is the other monitor. Can I recommend you look at the following:

Setting up your Touchscreen and TouckKit Drivers

Yes, look at that link Zorlac posted.

It does sound as though your TouchKit drivers think your touchscreen is the wrong monitor. It may be a problem/bug with your TouckKit drivers, but this would be the first I've heard of that.

Make sure Windows AND your TouchKit drivers both agree. In Windows make sure your touchscreen is 'not' your primary monitor, like this:



Make sure TouchKit knows that Monitor 2 is the touchscreen. Select and apply this a couple of times, and test it. When monitor #2 is selected it's text will turn white.

I don't trust these drivers, so I would try and set this up a few times. This is probably where the problem is.

If this is setup correctly, then when you do the Calibration test, the white test screen with the red Xs will be displayed on monitor 2. If you have selected monitor 2, but it displays the test on monitor 1, then Touchkit is bugged.

Also, try these Beta drivers. Most people have the best luck with these!!

Hope this helps!

I have the same monitor and it's working fine using it as secondary (after finding the vista drivers)
Which version of UPDD are you running? 4.00 or 3.8 ?

Note, If you are running Vista you need to use the 4.00 drivers
Here you can download them, but they are not licensed so you will get a popup alarm ever 50 clicks.
LG is working on releasing a licensed version that will fix this.

In 4.00 you have a page with hardware..then two options Handling monitor and connect to USB. Set handling monitor to the correct number (#2 for you)

Then hit the calibrate and you will get it on the correct monitor.

Wow, thanks for the prompt responses.

I've got it working now. I removed/reinstalled the drivers, set the touchscreen monitor as my secondary monitor and set the touchscreen drivers to "Monitor 2" then did a calibration ok. I think I got my monitor numbers messed up.

I'm using the LG Flatron L1730SF with USB with the LG drivers version 3.08.52P with Windows XP SP2 and Nvidia Forceware drivers 93.81

Works fantastic now thanks.
