Description Max Perl 2016-07-03 22:58:14 CEST

Description of problem:
My ELAN Touchscreen behaves in GNOME (ver 3.14.2) as a mouse. That means that the most native gestures are not recognized and for example scrolling in nautilus doesn't work. Also chromium which has a native multitouch support doesn't recognize any touchscreen device. Even if I pass the device with "chromium-browser --touch-device=12" chromium treats the touchscreen as a mouse and scrolling and similar doesn't work.
Configuration with the relevant drakconf tool did not help, too...

Also in harddrake the touchscreen device is listed under "mouse" and module is "mouse1"..

Here the relevant content of XOrg.0.log:

Please attach (do not paste it) the lspcidrake.txt file resulting from running the following command:
lspcidrake -v > /tmp/lspcidrake.txt

Also please attach the whole X.org logs.

Last but not least what's the output of the following command:

Older reports seems to point to kernel...

Comment 7 Max Perl 2016-07-04 22:11:00 CEST

I don't know if it is helpful, but I will attach also the Xorg.0.log from my mageia 6 test install where the touchscreen works out of the box. If it doesn't help, please be free to remove the file...

@Thierry Vignaud
which older reports do you mean? I didn't find anything about this issues...

Comment 9 Thierry Vignaud 2016-07-05 08:50:46 CEST

(In reply to Max Perl from comment #7)
I meant reports in other distros :-)

(In reply to Max Perl from comment #8)
The difference is that I made mga6 default to using libinput
And indeed, we can see in your logs:
+ (II) Using input driver 'libinput' for 'ELAN Touchscreen'

Can you try installing x11-driver-input-libinput on your mga5 box & restart the system?

Comment 10 Max Perl 2016-07-05 10:41:22 CEST

Dear Thierry,

Thanks a lot!!!!!! This was the issue. After installing x11-driver-input-libinput and restarting everything works fine! I am very happy :-)

Would it be possible to install the libinput driver automatically at the installation or the first update after installation so that the touchscreen works out of the box? This would be a very big help for beginners...

Again Thank you very much!

As I said in comment #9, I've already done that for incoming Mageia 6
