Touch screen is not functional with Linux images 11.05 build version

nagesha71 — Wed, 23 Nov 2011 11:05:14 GMT

Hello,

I am using a i.MX53 based SABRE tablet (SMD) board.
The issue is, touch screen is not functional when I booted with Linux images from MMC card.

I have tried with 11.05_images and 11.05_source bundle (using ltib), but no luck.

I have exported below tslib env variables:

export TSLIB_CALIBFILE=/usr/etc/pointercal
export TSLIB_CONFFILE=/usr/etc/ts.conf
export TSLIB_PLUGINDIR=/usr/lib/ts
export TSLIB_FBDEVICE=/dev/fb0
export TSLIB_CONSOLEDEVICE=/dev/tty
export TSLIB_TSDEVICE=/dev/input/ts0

ts_print_raw giving all zeros.
Below is the output of ts_print_raw and dmesg log.

root@freescale ~$ ts_print_raw

Touch screen is working fine with 11.05 build images.

Applied a patch to egalax driver as given in the below link:

Hi Nagesh,

I am able to configure the egalax driver for 11.05 build, but the touch is not accurate, it always selects the wrong folder for the first time..I have calibrated the touch, but still it fails.

Please tell me if you have any solution for this.

Regards,

Swamy

Hello Swamy,

I didn't do anything beyond applying a patch to egalax driver, and used Xfbdev as,

Xfbdev -screen 1024x768 -mouse tslib,,device=/dev/input/event0  & .

Can you try to run Xfbdev server, as mentioned above instead of,

Xfbdev -mouse tslib,2,device=/dev/input/mouse0 -mouse mouse,2,device=/dev/input/mice&

Thanks for the reply.

Please see my startx file. I replaced

Xfbdev -keybd keyboard,,device=/dev/input/keyboard0 -mouse mouse,2,device=/dev/input/mice &

with

Xfbdev -screen 1024x768 -mouse tslib,,device=/dev/input/event0  & 

I did not see any change. Can you please suggest here, if there any other way? 
Is there any other patch in egalax driver?

Swamy

Hi Nagesh,

I changed the line

Xfbdev -mouse tslib,0,device=/dev/input/ts0 -mouse mouse,0,device=/dev/input/mice&

Xfbdev -screen 1024x768 -mouse tslib,,device=/dev/input/ts0 &

Now it works fine..

Thanks a lot for your help.

Swamy

Thats great!

Actually when Xfbdev server runs with ts and mouse devices, when we shake the mouse it jumps to mouse protocol.

So, the calibrated values are becoming wrong for the ts.

Need to find out a way of working Xfbdev with combination of ts and mouse devices simultaneously ?

Please update if you ever find a solution for that.

thanks,
