The official Raspberry Pi touch display driver?

Postby csanyipal » Sun Oct 25, 2015 10:30 am

Hi,

I just bought this touch screen.

I'm trying to set it up by using lightdm display manager.
I have installed xfce4 desktop environment.
My archlinux-arm operating system is installed on Raspberry Pi B+ .

I can`t start lightdm. I`m trying it in testing mode with command:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'lightdm --test-mode --debug')
and get output that can be seen here:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '[')+0.00s] DEBUG: Logging to /var/log/lightdm/lightdm.log

It seems to me that that there is no kernel driver for this touch screen out there, right?
How can I solve this problem?

Well, if I can't achieve my goal on Arch linux-arm, then I must change the operating system and start using Raspbian operating system. On that system one can uses this touch screen.

To know about the drivers, you should be testing X or a WM, not a DM, to get a direct test.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')o know about the drivers, you should be testing X or a WM, not a DM, to get a direct test.

How can I test X to know about the driver?

Run the X server. Check the log.

What xf86-video-* driver do you have installed?

I have not installed any of xf86-video-* drivers.

When I list video drivers, I get only these:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'pacman -Ss xf86-video-')
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'e')xtra/xf86-video-dummy 0.3.7-4 (xorg-drivers xorg)
X.org dummy video driver
extra/xf86-video-fbdev 0.4.4-4 (xorg-drivers xorg)
X.org framebuffer video driver
extra/xf86-video-sisusb 0.9.6-6
X.org SiS USB video driver
extra/xf86-video-vesa 2.3.4-1 (xorg-drivers xorg)
X.org vesa video driver
alarm/xf86-video-fbturbo-git 197.e094e3c-1
X.org MALI video driver
alarm/xf86-video-omapfb 0.1.1.1-2
OMAP3+ framebuffer driver for X

I think that that none of them can drive the official Raspberry Pi touch screen, because the web pages https://github.com/raspberrypi/documentation/blob/master/hardware/display/troubleshooting.md and http://forums.pimoroni.com/t/official-7-raspberry-pi-touch-screen-faq/959 mentions the 'libraspberrypi0' package which must be installed.
There is no such package on archlinux-arm system.
What do you think?

With alarm/xf86-video-fbturbo-git packaged installed I can start X.
