RPi Touch - Rotate touch events

[metRo_]

I'm having problem using the touchscreen with Qt. I have set up the touch as you said on the wiki however when I run a Qt application the touch doesn't seem to respect the configs.

What should I do?

I cross compiled Qt using this tutorial https://wiki.qt.io/RaspberryPi2EGLFS

Thank you

Did you try to rotate coordinates as described in documentation: doc, by setting QT_QPA_EVDEV_TOUCHSCREEN_PARAMETERS?

I did read that but I don't know where can I set these values :s

I was able to make it work using the following:

However I would like to know the diference between evtouch and libinput and which one is better?

@metRo_ You can add this to /etc/environment, and make this permanent (even after reset), or just export it in console before running your app, but it only will works in console where you exported this, and after reset it backs to default. But as you wrote, that using evdevtouch works, so you don't need this for now. For second question, i always use evdevtouch, and don't know which one is better ;).

I didn't understand what you mean, what I don't need?

All the documentation said that by default it should use evdevtouch but in my case by default it use libinput and I need to specify that I want to use evdevtouch, any clue on it?

I mean, that you don't need overwrite QT_QPA_EVDEV_TOUCHSCREEN_PARAMETERS to ratate coordinates. Correct me if i'm wrong, but i assumed that, when you use evdevtouch plugin touchscreen works, as it should be? Unfortunately i don't know why it doesn't use evdevtouch by default.
