Yocto BSP X11 multitouch support

Hi everybody.

I have a problem with Cypress capacitive touchscreen with multitouch support. Cypress has provided me with Linux kernel driver, and now I got /dev/input/event0 device, but the cursor on the screen is not moving. I looked at the /var/log/Xorg.0.log file and found this entry:

[1609714.552] (II) config/udev: Adding input device cyttsp5_mt (/dev/input/event0)

[1609714.552] (II) No input driver specified, ignoring this device.

I built a xf86-input-mtev (as I described here: https://community.freescale.com/message/599520#599520) and put it to the /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input, and added an entry to /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

Section "InputClass"

Identifier "internal-touchscreen"

MatchIsTouchScreen "on"

Driver "mtev"

Option "Ignore" "off"

EndSection

Also I tried this:

Section "InputClass"

Identifier "touchscreen"

MatchProduct "cyttsp5_mt"

MatchIsTouchScreen "true"

Driver "mtev"

Option "Device" "/dev/input/event0"

Option "Ignore" "off"

Option "SwapAxes" "0"

Option "CorePointer" "true"

EndSection

Some output from mtdev-test utility:

root@smartphone:~# mtdev-test /dev/input/event0

supported mt events:

ABS_MT_SLOT

ABS_MT_TOUCH_MAJOR

ABS_MT_TOUCH_MINOR

ABS_MT_ORIENTATION

ABS_MT_POSITION_X

ABS_MT_POSITION_Y

ABS_MT_TOOL_TYPE

ABS_MT_TRACKING_ID

ABS_MT_PRESSURE

ABS_MT_DISTANCE

Please give me a direction to find a problem.
Thank you.
Best regards.

Hi,

As far as I know the touch sensing library in yocto does not support multitouch capabilities.

You will have to change the touch sensing driver to work for single touch. You may find useful the attached example, the FORCE_SINGLE_EVENT macro enables the single touch feature.

Best Regards,

Alejandro
