Installed Androidx86 on FWIN232 windows tablet
I previously (several years ago) installed android x86 in a windows tablet and faced similar issues. The cause was an incorrect firmware file used by the touchscreen. I was able to find one here (This will probably not work for you, but you may find one). I also found that the kernel driver (the *.ko file) for the silead touch screen has configuration for different models. The old version of the driver attached the configuration to the firmware file itself (at the end of the file), whereas the new driver included the configuration in the code itself (IMO a big step backwards).

Is there a way to get Windows drivers working on Linux, if so, how difficult is the process to get them working?
I've looked online for Linux firmware that supports the hardware on the Cambio. The only thing I've managed to find is a GitHub page that provides Linux firmware for touchscreen controllers manufactured by Silead (Link to GitHub page). I was able to install the firmware, but the touchscreen and "auto screen rotation" didn't work correctly.

Can someone help me better understand these instructions from GitHub on how to install firmware for Silead touch screens? https://github.com/onitake/gslx680-acpi
Firmware Instructions The controller requires firmware to work properly. Firmware images extracted from vendor drivers are maintained in a separate repository: https://github.com/onitake/gsl-firmware

Trying to get touchscreen support on a PCBox tablet.
Here is the output. I've been messing with a ton of things, nothing works. I've found this thread that looked promising. Apparently many people have extracted firmware for this touchscreen, but it's on completely different devices. I think the tablet I have is a regional thing, only sold here (I haven't even heard of the "PCBox" brand anywhere else).

Maybe try "sudo insmod ov2680" (derived from reading https://github.com/RayFoulk/ArchOnCambio )
What are some alternatives?
When comparing gsl-firmware and ArchOnCambio you can also consider the following projects:
gslx680-acpi - ACPI/x86 compatible driver for Silead GSLx680 touchscreens

zbar - ZBar is an open source software suite for reading bar codes from various sources, including webcams. As its development stopped in 2012, I took the task of keeping it updated with the V4L2 API. This is the main repository for it. There's a clone at at LinuxTV.org, and another one at gitlab.
