OSMKTCHS - TOUCH-DEVICE ERROR IN OS/2 WARP
01/15/96
=======================================================================
Touch-Device Error in OS/2 Warp
=======================================================================
Please Read Entire Document for Full Explanation of Procedures
--------------------------------------------------------------
DESCRIPTION
When OS/2 Warp is started, a touch-device error is received.
If the incorrect IBM Touch Device was specified during Selective
Install, the error message will be received when the system is started.
RESOLUTION
Statements in the CONFIG.SYS that relate to the touchscreen should be
remarked (REM) out. These lines would now be for the pointing device.
1. Turn on the system. If it is already on, perform a shutdown and then
press Ctrl+Alt+Del.
2. When the small white box appears in the upper-left corner, press
Alt+F1.
3. At the Recovery Choices screen, select C to go to the command prompt.
4. Edit the CONFIG.SYS file and remark-out (REM) the current statements
for the touch device. These statements would now be for the pointing
device.
5. Save and exit the file.
6. Go to the OS2\DLL subdirectory and delete the TOUCALLS.DLL file.
7. Type EXIT and press Enter.
In the mouse panel of Selective Install, IBM Touch Device refers to the
8516 Touch Display. For the 95xx series of Touch Monitors, the drivers
are supplied with the monitor.
For an 8516 Touch Device, touch support can be installed by selecting
IBM Touch Device during Selective Install.
The CONFIG.SYS lines for an 8516 Touch Display are:
DEVICE=C:\OS2\BOOT\PDITOU02.SYS CODE=C:\OS2\TOUCO21D.BIN
INIT=C:\OS2\TOUCH.INI
DEVICE=C:\OS2\BOOT\TOUCH.SYS TYPE=PDITOU$
DEVICE=C:\OS2\MDOS\VTOUCH.SYS
RUN=C:\OS2\CALIBRAT.EXE -C C:\OS2\CALIBRAT.DAT
DEVICE=C:\OS2\BOOT\MOUSE.SYS TYPE=PDIMOU$
DEVICE=C:\OS2\MDOS\VMOUSE.SYS
DEVICE=C:\OS2\BOOT\POINTDD.SYS
A 95xx Touch Monitor uses MTOUCH drivers. These are on the diskettes
that come with the monitor. They can be installed by opening an OS/2
Window session and typing the following at the command prompt:
x:INSTALOS drive:
where x is the drive with the IBM Touch Monitor Installation Diskette,
and drive is the drive where OS/2 is installed.
The CONFIG.SYS statements for the 95xx Touch Monitors are:
DEVICE=C:\MTSOS2\VMOUSE.SYS
DEVICE=C:\OS2\BOOT\POINTDD.SYS
DEVICE=C:\MTSOS2\MTOUCH.SYS BUTTONMODE=LIFTOFF
TAPTIME=832 TAPDISTANCE=22
DEVICE=C:\OS2\BOOT\MOUSE.SYS STYPE=MTOUCH$
