How to configure Qt to use tslib instead of evdev?
-
I'm trying to run Qt applications on a Raspberry Pi 3 that have a Waveshare LCD Touchscreen (with resistive touch) as IO. The Qt version I'm using is 5.12 and the Raspberry Pi's Operating System is Raspbian Stretch. I'm using tslib as the input driver, cause evdev is not working properly with my touch.
tslib solved a problem I have with evdev, but created some new problems:
If I press the widget and hold it down for some time, it generates one MousePress, wait some milliseconds, then generate two more MousePresses.
When I just click (press immediately followed by release) some widget, tslib generates two MousePresses and two MouseReleases instead of one each.
Here are the environment variables I have defined on
/etc/environment
:QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb QT_QPA_FB_TSLIB=1 QT_PLUGIN_PATH=/usr/local/qt5pi/plugins QT_QPA_PLATFORM_PLUGIN_PATH=/usr/local/qt5pi/plugins/platforms QT_QPA_GENERIC_PLUGINS=tslib:/dev/input/touchscreen TSLIB_TSEVENTTYPE=INPUT TSLIB_FBDEVICE=/dev/fb0 TSLIB_TSDEVICE=/dev/input/touchscreen TSLIB_CALIBFILE=/etc/pointercal TSLIB_CONFFILE=/etc/ts.conf TSLIB_PLUGINDIR=/usr/local/lib/ts
And here is the code I'm using to test tslib:
#include <QApplication> #include <QPushButton> #include <QDebug> class Button : public QPushButton { Q_OBJECT public: using QPushButton::QPushButton; protected: void mousePressEvent(QMouseEvent* event) override { QPushButton::mousePressEvent(event); qDebug() << "Pressed"; } void mouseReleaseEvent(QMouseEvent* event) override { QPushButton::mouseReleaseEvent(event); qDebug() << "Released"; } }; int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { QApplication app(argc, argv); Button button {"button"}; button.setFixedSize({60, 30}); button.show(); return app.exec(); }
Running the code above and clicking (press immediately followed by release) the button, I get the following output:
Pressed Released Pressed Released
And when I press the button, hold it down, and then release, I get this:
Pressed Pressed Pressed Released
What could be wrong with my system? Is there any Qt environment variable I forgot to define? Do I need to disable evdev to use tslib?
