Armbian Jessie + LCD + TouchScreen issue

zielec · August 9, 2018

Hi

I have Pine64+ with LCD + TouchScreen - all from Pine team.

I checked some OS, but only Armbian DE is responsiveness enough for me.

Now, Armbian Jessie is on SD card, stable ISO with all updates and upgrades installed - 3.10.107-pine64.

Change from HDMI to LCD done by changing pine64_lcd to 'on' in /boot/armbianEnv.txt

I add gt9xxf_ts in /etc/modues and restart Pine64. But cursor doesn't move on any touch.

I confirm that the gt9xxf_ts module loaded by runing 'lsmod' as root, but this module is used by 0 (nobody).

I've checked which event is assigned and I got:

cat /proc/bus/input/devices | grep -B 2 -A 8 gt9xxf_ts

I: Bus=0018 Vendor=dead Product=beef Version=28bb
N: Name="gt9xxf_ts"
P: Phys=input/goodix-ts
S: Sysfs=/devices/virtual/input/input4
U: Uniq=
H: Handlers=event4 autohotplug cpufreq_interactive
B: PROP=2
B: EV=b
B: KEY=400 0 0 0 0 0
B: ABS=265000000000000

I even check if module works correctly. I installed 'evtest' and run it:

apt-get install evtest
evtest /dev/input/event4

I received confirmation that module works:

First part after start testing, second after touching the screen.

Input driver version is 1.0.1

What I miss to move cursor with touch?
