dead digitizer

[troeper]

Does anyone have suggestions on how to deal with a dead digitizer. I've been unable to find any list of keyboard commands, or patches that allow the joystick to become a mouse.

The screwy thing is that the part that's dead is smack dab in the middle of the screen, an area the size of 2 eraser heads. So when setting up after a reboot, the digitizer set up cant recognize that initial middle of the screen tap.

Your comments and suggestions would be most appreciated.

Frustrated as humanly possible....
