Sitronix ST9RM01 touchscreen not working

rated 0 times [ 1] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 2105 / 1 Year ago, sat, february 11, 2023, 5:26:16

I have a Sitronix ST9RM01 touchscreen that I'm trying to get working with Ubuntu 12.04.

The touchscreen is apparently recognized by Linux and X - the hid_multitouch module is loaded, and lsinput and xinput both list the touchscreen as an input device - but touching the screen does absolutely nothing, and xinput test shows no events.

The same touchscreen works just fine in Windows.

How can I troubleshoot from here? Any suggestions?

From talking with one of the hid-multitouch developers, the following will commands will work around this problem in Ubuntu 12.10:

sudo su

echo 16 > /sys/module/hid_multitouch/drivers/hid:hid-multitouch/0003:1403:5001.*/quirks

A future kernel update will fix things so that this will no longer be necessary.
