Hello all, we've been fiddling around with the TS-7395 board for a couple of months. At first we thought it was a bit slow and some searching on the net landed me on this group and on Donals (http://automon.donaloconnor.net/)and Scott's (http://smcrook.blogspot.com) blogs and read about how EABI would increase performance. 
Well after a lot of work and tweaking and cursing we finally managed to get it to work... sort of. the performance boost compared to OABI was great, but DirectFB (which we upgraded to 1.4.13, which generated a lot of headbanging and cursing too) didn't respond to events as it should (touchscreen events) it seemed like the button down event was triggered when touching the screen but instead of reading where the touch occured it read the cursor position (or mouse pointer). Then we read about tslib, and that sounded like some great stuff, we managed to compile it. We ran ts_calibrate and it ran as it should.
But when we tried to make it talk to directfb it didn't go so well (we recompiled directfb and set --with-inputdrivers=tslib... etc etc) but when we try and run an application with directfb we get this:

   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| DirectFB 1.4.13 |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
        (c) 2001-2010  The world wide DirectFB Open Source Community
        (c) 2000-2004  Convergence (integrated media) GmbH
      ----------------------------------------------------------------

(*) DirectFB/Core: Single Application Core. (2011-07-01 14:34)
(*) Direct/Memcpy: Using libc memcpy()
(*) Direct/Thread: Started 'VT Switcher' (-1) [CRITICAL OTHER/OTHER 0/0] <8388608>...
(*) Direct/Thread: Started 'VT Flusher' (-1) [DEFAULT OTHER/OTHER 0/0] <8388608>...
(*) DirectFB/FBDev: Found 'TS7370' (ID 0) with frame buffer at 0x60100000, 750k (MMIO 0x600ff030, 0k)
(!) Direct/Modules: Unable to dlopen `/usr/local/lib/directfb-1.4-5/inputdrivers/libdirectfb_tslib.so'!
    --> /usr/local/lib/directfb-1.4-5/inputdrivers/libdirectfb_tslib.so: undefined symbol: ts_close
(*) DirectFB/Graphics: Generic Software Rasterizer 0.6 (directfb.org)
(*) DirectFB/Core/WM: Default 0.3 (directfb.org)
(*) FBDev/Mode: Setting 800x480 RGB16
(*) FBDev/Mode: Switched to 800x480 (virtual 800x480) at 16 bit (RGB16), pitch 1

And we're at a loss. It's been an uphill struggle to get this far... and the hill keeps going up! 
Is there anyone out there with a working dd image with (preferably) EABI and Directfb working with the touchscreen? Or any help in how to proceed from here?

Best Regards
Jimmi
