Hello guys,

I found something while searching if my touchscreen is really seen as a touchscreen but in Xorg.0.log I saw that my touchscreen driver is seen as a mouse and that he is using the configuration InputClass from 'libinpute pointer catchall' :
Code: [Select]
   53.460] (II) config/udev: Adding input device EloTouchSystems,Inc Elo TouchSystems 2216 AccuTouch® USB Touchmonitor Interface (/dev/input/event4)
[    53.460] (**) EloTouchSystems,Inc Elo TouchSystems 2216 AccuTouch® USB Touchmonitor Interface: Applying InputClass "libinput pointer catchall"
and that Xorg recognise this like I said : 
Code: [Select]
event4  - EloTouchSystems,Inc Elo TouchSystems 2216 AccuTouch® USB Touchmonitor Interface: is tagged by udev as: Mouse
[    53.726] (II) event4  - EloTouchSystems,Inc Elo TouchSystems 2216 AccuTouch® USB Touchmonitor Interface: device is a pointer
Any toughts ?
It's fine

Does the boot code usbhid.mousepoll=0 fix it?

Hi MrToga
... /extlinux.conf but didn't find any.
Pi uses a different bootloader. Try this:
Code: [Select]
sudo mount /dev/mmcblk0p1
cd /mnt/mmcblk0p1/
Then add it to  cmdline.txt.

Where do I put this line ...
It's not a separate line. Append it to the existing line.

Hi MrToga
It looks like you did it correctly.

Maybe there's an easier way since this worked:
I needed to install xinput and xrandr, after that I used
Code: [Select]
xinput set-prop <deviceid> "Coordinate Transformation Matrix" -1.1 0 1.02 0 1.05 -0.02 0 0 1 ----- Snip -----
But now I was wondering if I can make this modification persistent on my rasp ...
Create a file (any name you want) in the  /home/tc/.X.d  directory containing:
Code: [Select]
xinput set-prop <deviceid> "Coordinate Transformation Matrix" -1.1 0 1.02 0 1.05 -0.02 0 0 1 &Run a backup. Next time you boot, that command will be run automatically right after X starts.

Hi Rich,

The problem with xinput is that when you unplug your usb and replug it the driver are set at defaults so the transformation matrix is reset.

Hi MrToga
I see. This may be a job for udev using a  .rules  file. Do the following:
1.
Code: [Select]
udevadm monitor --property > touch.txt2. Unplug the USB device.
3. Count to 3.
4. Re-plug the USB device.
5. Count to 3.
6. Press  Ctrl-C
7. Attach the  touch.txt  file to your next post.

I'll look at it tonight and see if I can figure out a  .rules  file to handle this.

Hi MrToga
Create a file called  TouchScreen.sh  in your  /home/tc/.local/bin  directory  that looks like this:
Code: [Select]
#!/bin/sh

# Exit if X is not running yet.
[ -z "$DISPLAY" ] && exit

xinput set-prop <deviceid> "Coordinate Transformation Matrix" -1.1 0 1.02 0 1.05 -0.02 0 0 1
Make it executable:
Code: [Select]
chmod 775 .local/bin/TouchScreen.sh
Create a file in the  /home/tc/.X.d  directory containing:
Code: [Select]
TouchScreen.sh &You can name that file anything you want.

Save the attached  98-touch.rules  file to  /etc/udev/rules.d/
Add  etc/udev/rules.d/98-touch.rules  to your backup.
Run a backup.

When you reboot, the file you created in  /home/tc/.X.d  will run  TouchScreen.sh.
Now udev should sense any time your USB device gets plugged in and run  TouchScreen.sh.

    [EDIT]: Attachment removed. See reply #27 for corrected version.  Rich

Update :
So after putting all the files like Rich told me. The command worked when I start my X server but when I try to unplug/replug my usb it doesn't work so I used the command :
Code: [Select]
sudo udevd --debugto see if there are problem and I saw something like this after commanting the line in touchscreen (because it return me 0 and doesn't work either) :
Code: [Select]
[ -z "$DISPLAY" ] && exit
Code: [Select]
[1319.071965] [3907] udev_event_spawn: starting '/home/tc/.local/bin/TouchScreen.sh'
[1319.088537] [3899] spawn_read: '/home/tc/.local/bin/TouchScreen.sh'(err) 'Unable to connect to X server'
[1319.090857] [3899] spawn_wait: '/home/tc/.local/bin/TouchScreen.sh' [3907] exit with return code 1
It's strange because I run xhost + and xterm -display my.ip.adress:0.0 to be sure that I can connect and it worked.
Any toughts ?

Hi MrToga
Save this new attached  98-touch.rules  file to  /etc/udev/rules.d/
Run:
Code: [Select]
sudo udevadm control --reload-rules See if unplugging/replugging the USB works now.

Hi MrToga
I'll do my best.

If the current action is not bind, ignore this event.
Code: [Select]
ACTION!="bind", GOTO="touch_end"
If the current subsystem is not usb, ignore this event.
Code: [Select]
SUBSYSTEM!="usb", GOTO="touch_end"
If the vendor ID matches 04e7 and the model ID mathes 0050 ...
Code: [Select]
ENV{ID_VENDOR_ID}=="04e7", ENV{ID_MODEL_ID}=="0050", ...
 ... then run the command inside the quotes:
Code: [Select]
RUN+="/b in/sh -c 'DISPLAY=:0 /home/tc/.local/bin/TouchScreen.sh'"
The values were obtained from the  touch.txt  file you attached in a previous post. The event they were taken
from was the last event that occurred after you plug in the USB (end of file).
