Eee 901 touchscreen problem

So I installed touchscreen for my 901 and it is recognized correctly but the behaviour is horribly. Mouse pointer is randomly jumping around screen borders. I once got it working by disconnecting touchpad. Im running up to date arch and latest beta drivers from http://home.eeti.com.tw/web20/eGalaxTou … Driver.htm

my xorg.conf

Section "ServerLayout"
        InputDevice "EETI" "SendCoreEvents"
    Identifier    "ArchLinux"

    Screen            "Screen0"
EndSection

Section "Device"
    Identifier    "Device0"
    Driver        "intel"
    Option        "XAANoOffScreenPixmaps"    "true"
    Option        "AccelMethod"        "EXA"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier    "Screen0"
    Device        "Device0"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier "EETI"
    Driver "egalax"
    Option "Device" "usbauto"
    Option "Parameters" "/var/lib/eeti.param"
    Option "ScreenNo" "0"
EndSection

My touchpad and keyboard are configured with hal. I tried configuring toucscreen with hal too with no luck.

Update:
Removed xorg.conf and made hal policy for touchscreen (same settings), problem remains.

Is there any way to track why my mouse suddenly loses focus and jumps to screen edge? Like if theres some clicks etc.

Re: Eee 901 touchscreen problem

I never had much luck with the eeti driver either. Try the evtouch driver instead. Here is my  /etc/hal/fdi/policy/50-touchscreen.fdi (I don't have an xorg.conf)

All the x1, y1, etc bit are commented because I can't get the calibrator to give me proper values. You wil need to change all the numbers as appropriate.
