Unable to get events from my touchscreen in Weston using libinput

[Aurelien Bouin]

Hello,

Thank you for your answer !!
It was exactly that ! The only way I had to understand what was wrong with the touch was to add weston_log into src/input.c ...
I feel like weston-calibrator is not really usefull ...

What I actually did to solve my problem was to add a rule to udev into /etc/udev/rules.d with this kind of datas inside :
ATTRS{name}=="ADS7846 Touchscreen", ENV{WL_CALIBRATION}="-0.211380 -0.007522 1739.4189 -0.000290 0.143116 -632.012695"

I manually computed thoses 6 datas with the /etc/pointercal generated by tslib ...
FYI =>
Supposing in /etc/pointercal you have those 9 variables :
a b c d e f g h i
Then the 6 variables to set are ENV{WL_CALIBRATION}="a/g b/g c/g d/g e/g f/g"

Hope it will help someone...

Now I am trying to make GTK+3 working with touchscreen with wayland backend since it has not been supported in the 3.12 ...

Thank you again for the time !

Hi,

maybe the coordinates are somehow completely off... you could try
adding weston_log() in src/input.c notify_touch() to print the
coordinates (use e.g. wl_fixed_to_int()).

If the coordinates do not hit any surface, you won't see them in the
protocol debug either.


Thanks,
