Problem with Touchscreen monitor calibration - Mark "Elo"

Hello guys!

I am developing a system where I need to use a touch screen monitor, and I'm having problems to calibrate the touch screen monitor - "Elo Touch" (I don't have the exact model of it).

The settings of the PC I'm using are these:

TQ-Mini 1.0 Ghz;

486 compatible 1.0 Ghz CPU;

With 512 MB Ram, 2 GB SD card. 

If necessary, the link to view more information about the computer: http://www.ewayco.com/100-low-cost-pc-products-low-cost-systems-embedded-systems-servers-lcd-pc-panel-pc.html

I am using Slitaz system 3.0 with the Graphics server Xvesa, because the Xorg couldn't rotate the monitor with the "xrandr". 

I've tried many options of the functionality of "Xvesa --help". What brought me some positive result was to use the parameters "-ac" and "-a 1". I also tried using the "-dpms", but nothing helps. 

With the change of acceleration to "-a 1" got an improvement in the result, but not a decent improvement. 

The parameters that I'm using are:

xserver_arguments -ac -a 1 -s 0 -shadow -dpms +extension Composite -screen 1024x768x24 -keybd keyboard -mouse mouse,5,/dev/input/mice -nolisten tcp

That is in the file "/etc/slim .conf"

Tried to download the Driver from the manufacturer's page of the monitor. the link from where I downloaded was: http://www.elotouch.com/Support/Downloads/dnldlicense.asp?file=SW601383_Elo_Linux_USB_Driver_v3.5.2_i686.tgz

But following the instructions in the "readme" not got success, it may be that I made a mistake in the way....

If anyone has any idea to contribute, I would be very grateful! 

Since already thank you for your attention! 

Best regards

I'm still kinda new to slitaz, but I think I saw somewhere that slitaz is compiled for a i386, maybe i486, but not i686! Drivers are a pain regardless, so good luck!
