ILITEK Touch Screeen

[zeroptr]

Hi
I'm using Linux Mint XFCE 20.04 my device has ilitek multitouch touch screen..

At my devices list
ILITEK ILITEK-TP
ILITEK ILITEK-TP Mouse

Shown.. My Application needs to have the Touchscreen input as Mouse..
When I disable ILITEK ILITEK-TP on the system ILITEK ILITEK-TP Mouse also doesn't work and all my Touch capability lost.

How can I solve this..
best regards..

Welcome to the forum, zeroptr.

What is the output of xinput?

My Application needs to have the Touchscreen input as Mouse..

What is the application?

When I disable ILITEK ILITEK-TP on the system ILITEK ILITEK-TP Mouse also doesn't work and all my Touch capability lost.

If you disable the touchscreen, then it makes sense that you would lose Touch capability. I am not understanding how you expect to disable the screen (which disables touch), but then expect to use the screen as mouse by touching the screen.

What exactly are you wanting to do?

My Application needs to have the Touchscreen input as Mouse..

What is the application?

My application is an application written with Qt5.7 runs on Linux Mint

What exactly are you wanting to do?

I want to have the touch screen emulation mouse..

I was wanting to know the name of the application as I thought it might help me figure out what it is you want to do.

Then you have to leave the touchscreen turned on. You can not turn off the touchscreen and then expect the touchscreen to work as a mouse or as anything else.

I am not really understanding exactly what you want to do, but maybe this thread will help you Touchscreen and mouse as separate inputs?.

If that does not help, we will need a better explanation of what you are trying to accomplish to be able to help you.

this is my xinput output

the machine vas not near me so I could not send u this before sorry ..

as seen at the list there is two devices for ilitek
⎜ ↳ ILITEK ILITEK-TP Mouse id=11 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ ILITEK ILITEK-TP id=10 [slave pointer (2)]

ILITEK ILITEK-TP Mouse I think the mouse emulator for touch screen..

Many touchscreen porducers have an option at their software like "act as mouse" I used 3m touch devices and they have it..
at that option touch screen sends the "click" signals as mouse click not touch "click"

I try to solve this with software that I wrote I put setattribute(Qt::WA_AcceptTouchEvents) but this doesn't help me at all..

I'm deadly in need of solving this..
thanks..

Correct.

That sounds like it is separate software made specifically for that device. Are you asking if there is separate ILITEK software for Linux? I do not understand why you are mentioning the 3M device.

The ILITEK device is showing a Mouse is available and for this boot session and it is id=11. Please see the link I provided earlier for more information Touchscreen and mouse as separate inputs? on how the id's are used.

Your software code seems like it is looking for a touchscreen and not a mouse, but I have not written Qt apps, so I am not sure.

I see this at your prior message and tried unfortunately it give 2 cusrsors at screen and not acting like a mouse..

I have no further ideas. Maybe someone else will be able to help you.

Hi,
Suprisingly when I change the system from XFCE to Cinnamon The probem magically solved (with gtk3 my guess)..

Interesting! Thanks for the feedback.
I do not know about gtk3 differences, but Cinnamon has a different windows manager than Xfce.
