hi
any guide about how (and what emerge) calibrate a Touchscreen ?

You can either use "tslib" (for Qt embedded, ...), or with a new enough X, the evdev
driver also supports touchscreens as long as they are supported by the kernel and
exported as "event" devices; then you need to play around with the calibration with
the xinput tool.

No ebuild; just unpack the qt-everywhere-* source tarball, adjust the incdir/libdirs
in mkspecs/qws/<your-toolchain>/qmake.conf to point to where you stored
your ARM libs and headers, adjust your toolchain if necessary and then cross-build it.
The configure script is a bit picky about what you enable;
you also might need to play a bit with the libdir/incdir paths until qmake correctly picks
up and links all external libraries you have enabled...

You could emerge the "standard" x11-based Qt ebuilds too, it just takes a _long_ time
to build and you need X; qt-embedded can use a framebuffer or EGL/openvg if you have
a capable cpu.
