Hello group:

I am a new member of this group and I want to put this out on the message board because I need some help. I recently purchased and Archos 9 Tablet PC, it initially ran on Windows7. I tried to see if I could get the Ubuntu netbook remix installed on the Archos, which I did. The problem is I can't get the touchscreen to work. I have tried several guides which I downloaded offline, I am very much a newbie with linux and cannot get the touchscreen drivers installed using the command line prompt. I am looking for a tutor to walk me through it and I am open to paying a consultation fee. I am not looking for someone to install the touchscreen drivers for me, but to show me how to install it.

Thanks

David

Why not point people to what you are doing so that we can give you some ideas of where to go next.

First issue: find out which drivers are needed.
Are they already compiled for your machine and distribution or not?

My first quick check on it showed that others had problems.
Is there a wiki on this problem?
