Guest17Is there any way to put touchscreen on my raspberry pi3 with maemo leste?13:30
Wizzupyeah, there's these usb/hdmi raspi screens13:33
Wizzupthey work13:33
Guest17i mean i already have the touchscreen but how do i enable it?13:40
Guest17the touch capability13:44
freemangordonWizzup: got it working with pulsesrc14:07
freemangordonwe have multiple issues :D14:07
freemangordonwell, I got it working with call-handler14:19
Guest17how can i enable the touch capability on maemo leste rpi3 build?14:57
uvos__Guest17: there is nothing speical to enable14:59
Guest17so that means i cant enable touch?15:00
uvos__meamo is no different than any other linux distro in this regard15:00
uvos__if the linux kernel has a driver for your touch controller it just works15:00
uvos__there is nothing to configure (besides maybe callibrateing the touchscreen)15:00
uvos__if it dosent do anything at all15:00
Wizzupfreemangordon: great, I just landed after a very long trip with 9+ hours of delay so I will be KO for a bit15:00
uvos__you need to look at the usual steps to see why. If its a usb device is it in lsusb? dose it show up in /dev/input? dose it show up in xinput15:01
uvos__is there something in dmesg when you plug it in15:01
uvos__and so on15:01
uvos__but none of this is specific to maemo15:01
Guest17uvos__ its a 7inch screen15:01
Guest17https://www.melopero.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/EA2718-00.jpg this one15:02
Guest17it uses the raspi display board15:04
uvos__Guest17: i know nothing about this board, but it dosent look like it uses usb for the touch controller15:06
uvos__if its something like spi or i2c you are going to have to write a dts overlay to support this display15:06
Guest17no it doesnt use usb, it uses flat cables15:06
uvos__it could be usb over those flat cables15:06
uvos__but if its spi or i2c you need to write a dt overlay since those are not plug and play, this however has nothing to do with maemo, but rather a general linux task thats pretty out of scope here15:07
uvos__i gues its likely someone provides a device tree overlay for this for rasbian you could find and use15:08
inkyGuest17: it will be easier to use mouse.21:41
inkyuvos__: may it be their device is supported in debian12?21:41
