Qt 5.8.0 embedded, LinuxFB, integrate mouse

Mosolov

I have an ARM board with embedded linux and Qt5.8.0 with linuxfb. I'm using the following script to run the QtQuick2 app:

export QML2_IMPORT_PATH=/usr/lib/qt/qml
export QT_QPA_FONTDIR=/usr/lib/fonts

export QT_QPA_PLATFORM=linuxfb:fb=/dev/fb0
export QT_QPA_EGLFS_DEBUG=1
export QT_QPA_EGLFS_NO_LIBINPUT=1
export QT_QPA_FB_HIDECURSOR=0

export QT_LOGGING_RULES=qt.qpa.input=true

./qmlplot -platform linuxfb -plugin tslib:/dev/input/mice

I also has Qt4.8.6 on that target board and I was able to integrate mouse with the following script:

export GCONV_PATH=/lib/gconv
export TSLIB_TSDEVICE=/dev/input/mice
export TSLIB_FBDEVICE=/dev/fb0
export QWS_MOUSE_PROTO=IntelliMouse:/dev/input/mice
export TSLIB_CONFFILE=/etc/ts.conf
export TSLIB_PLUGINDIR=/usr/lib/ts
export TSLIB_CONSOLEDEVICE=none
export TSLIB_CALIBFILE=/etc/pointercal

/var/bacs/data/gui -qws -display linuxfb:/dev/fb0

I'm not able to use mouse with the first script and Qt5, however it's possible with qt4.8.6 with the provided script.
I suggest that the key difference in the "QWS_MOUSE_PROTO=IntelliMouse:/dev/input/mice", to be more specific, I believe that "IntelliMouse" describes protocol that input device (e.g. mouse) implementing. I've tried to pass this parameter in Qt5 script by different approaches, but so far it doesn't helped.

Does anyone knows equivalent for "QWS_MOUSE_PROTO=IntelliMouse:/dev/input/mice" in Qt5?

Hi and welcome to devnet,

You can find more information about the input devices here.

Hope it helps

Rebuilding Qt5 with evdev helps me to solve the problem. Here are the running script exactly:

export QML2_IMPORT_PATH=/usr/lib/qt/qml
export QT_QPA_FONTDIR=/usr/lib/fonts
export QT_PLUGIN_PATH=/usr/lib/qt/plugins

export QT_QPA_PLATFORM=linuxfb:fb=/dev/fb0
export QT_QPA_EGLFS_DEBUG=1
export QT_QPA_EGLFS_NO_LIBINPUT=1
export QT_QPA_FB_HIDECURSOR=0
export QT_QPA_EVDEV_MOUSE_PARAMETERS=/dev/input/event0:grab

export QT_LOGGING_RULES=qt.qpa.input=true

/var/bacs/data/qmlplot/qmlplot

'export QT_QPA_EVDEV_MOUSE_PARAMETERS=/dev/input/event0:grab' solves the issue with mouse.
Tinkering on Qt5 source code didn't let me find QWS_PROTO analog in QPA.

Because QWS is Qt 4 only.
