    Hi,

    I'm running Qt5 on a Raspberry pi (by cross compiling) with an eGalax touchscreen, but I'm having problems getting it to work in Qt.
    If I do a 'startx' and run the Raspian GUI the touch works great but when running it in Qt it does not react at all.

    When starting the Qt app it says:
    evdevtouch: Using device /dev/input/event1
    min X: 0 max X: 0
    min Y: 0 max Y: 0
    min pressure: 0 max pressure: 0
    device name: eGalax Inc. Touch
    Protocol type A

    The touchscreen is at /dev/input/event1 but what about the other parameters?
    "max X: 0" and "max Y: 0" does not seem correct?

    If I start the app with "evdevmouse" I get it to work somewhat but it seems that its calibrated wrong.

      I have a same issue running Raspbian wheezy. Touchpad works fine in "startx" environment. But when I run qt app it seems to be calibrated wrong.
      I run app with:
      @./myApp -plugin evdevtouch:/dev/input/event2@
      I get following output:
      @
      evdevtouch: Using device /dev/input/event2
      min X: 0 max X: 0
      min Y: 0 max Y: 0
      min pressure: 0 max pressure: 0
      device name: eGalax Inc. USB TouchController
      Protocol type A
