I have tried almost every imaginable option I could find online to put in the 10-evdev.conf file in the xorg.conf.d directory so as to disable the dragging action of my touchscreen (eGalax Inc. Touch) but I have not been able to.The touchscreen is recognized as a tablet device but I can live with that.If I give some Options such as Option 'Ignore' 'on' under the following section in 10-evdev.conf then it works (meaning, it disables the touchscreen). If I do the same under the touchscreen catchall, it does not work! Also, in the xorg log, I can see that it is recognized as a tablet (I believe this is a bug in the kernel but it really doesn't matter as long as I can configure the touchscreen and have it working properly)

Now, my problem is that no matter what Option I've tried, I am not able to disable dragging. If I touch the screen and drag my finger across the screen, it draws a rectangle or actually drags the icons on the desktop. All I need from the touchscreen is click (tap) functionality since I'm going to be using is as a kiosk.Can anyone give me the right configuration to disable dragging?ThanksNahom

OK, found the solution:You need the Linux eGalax driver from here ....

After you unzip this download, look in the Programming Guide in the /Guide directory. It contains lengthy instructions. I did not follow them all, but note that my PC only has a single point touchscreen. What I did, which worked:
Run sudo sh setup.sh as indicated at section 3.1.

then reboot

Hope you succeed as well.

I've attached an Iiyama T1731SR-W1 17' touchscreen with HDMI and USB to my fully-updated Raspberry Pi. The touch isn't working plug-and-play and spent hours to try to get it working.

lsusb

evtest /dev/input/event0 + one touch at the screen

dmesg gives an error but i'm not sure if it has anything to do with

cat /proc/bus/input/devices

So I think the device is properly recognised but the cursor isn't moving while I touch the screen. I've been trying to calibrate the screen with xinput_calibrator but this tool doesn't recognise the touch events either.

I'm using kernel 4.9.59-v7+

Please help

I had exactly the same issue.I finally fixed it, with the help of a Dutch forum:https://zeilersforum.nl/index.php/forum-125/73-stroom-elektrische-apparatuur-aan-boord/574771-faytech-touch-op-raspberry-pi-werkt-niet?start=25#841523

It boils down to:

• First install evdev:

sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-evdev

• change the driver in a config file:

Egalax Touchscreen Driver

sudo nano /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-libinput.conf

• reboot
