Raspberry Pi 4 touchscreen with Qt5.15 embedded is not working

@Axel-Spoerl said in Raspberry Pi 4 touchscreen with Qt5.15 embedded is not working:

ts_calibrate and ts_test have meaningful outputs, and the TS works e.g. hooked up to a PC.

ts_calibrate and ts_test output correct data. When connected to a PC, the touch works correctly.

What's not working? Display? Touch? Both?

The touchscreen is not working. The display is working.
When running the qt 5.15 program, the display works. The touchscreen doesn't work.

Which XInput driver are you using? libinput (wrong), or evdev(right).

@Axel-Spoerl said in Raspberry Pi 4 touchscreen with Qt5.15 embedded is not working:

evdev(right)

I installed it first evdev:
sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-evdev

change the driver in a config file:
sudo nano /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-libinput.conf

at the lines with touchscreen driver replace libinput by evdev

  Section "InputClass"
      Identifier "evdev tablet catchall"
      MatchIsTablet "on"
      MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
      Driver "evdev"
  EndSection

Hm, that looks just fine.
The only thing left would be to try /dev/input/event0 and /dev/input/event2 respectively.
Maybe the "stylus" device reacts only to a pen.

How can this be done? You can learn more for beginners.

[Axel Spoerl]

To begin with, you're not a beginner, @Alexey_Golubev ;-)

Replace this

export TSLIB_TSDEVICE=/dev/input/event1

and try this

export TSLIB_TSDEVICE=/dev/input/event0

and this

export TSLIB_TSDEVICE=/dev/input/event2

[Alexey_Golubev]

if export TSLIB_TSDEVICE=/dev/input/event1 that ts_calibrate work.
if export TSLIB_TSDEVICE=/dev/input/event0 that ts_calibrate notwork.
if export TSLIB_TSDEVICE=/dev/input/event2 that ts_calibrate notwork.

What should I do next?

[Axel Spoerl]

I am kinda lost.
Maybe try Qt 6, even though I wouldn't know of a long standing bug that prevents touch from working.

I can't use Qt6.
Maybe you need special keys for qt 5.15?

Can you help?

[Axel Spoerl]

No, I have no more ideas.

I found that "-plugin tslib" touchscreen works.
"export QT_QPA_FB_TSLIB=1" does not work.
If I write "root@pi:~# /home/pi/Qt_Projects/kiab/kia -plugin tslib" then the touchscreen works.
