Tx1000z Touchscreen device not found

I have been trying my hardest to get this to work, it worked under ubuntu a few years ago when I got this laptop. It is a HP tx1308nr, I know that ETTI makes the driver, I followed this guide to the letter well replacing it with 32bit http://kellyandsopho.coam/tiki/tiki-ind … iontx1000z a few years ago.

I look at it today and egalax/etti changed a few things, and not you have to use a install script, it can not find my x modules, and i am wondering if ArchLinux even picked up the touchscreen dev. (Though I think it is USB so not sure) I have the driver from the new file in place, (egalax_drv.so) though keep in mind i am using 32bit arch, not 64bit.

It seems that also touchkit doesn't find a controller for the touchscreen. It might sound a little confusing, anyone have any help as to what has happened, ask and I will post output of anything.

Speaking of which:
Output of setup.sh by ETTI/Egalax

$ sudo sh ./setup.sh
(*) Linux driver installer for TouchKit controller 

(I) Check user permission: root, you are the supervisor.
(I) Begin to setup the TouchKit driver.
(I) Extract TouchKit driver archive to /usr/local/TouchKit32.
(I) Create TouchKit utility shortcut in /usr/bin.
(I) Create TKCal tool shortcut in /usr/bin.
(I) Searching the X input modules directory.
(I) Removed TouchKit driver archive from /usr/local/TouchKit32.
(I) Removed TouchKit utility shortcut.
(I) Removed TKCal tool shortcut.
(E) No X input modules directory found.

And output of touchkit.bin
$ sudo ./TouchKit
Then a GUI box popsup and tells me: No Touch Controller Found

There is what I have, I should also note that I did add the lines to my /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Re: Tx1000z Touchscreen device not found

Sorry to bring this thread back up after so long, but I quickly checked that script for the installation of the egalax touchpad driver, and it checks for the existence of the module installed along with the xf86-input-mouse package.

So just:
pacman -S xf86-input-mouse

And then script should proceed past the point where it gave you the error.
