i guess nobody on this website knows a thing about linux!

#linux #x11: anyone know how i can translate TouchBegin/TouchEnd Xinput2 events into ButtoDown/ButtonUp for an #SDL #SDL2 program (unmodifiable) which works with mouse pointer input but not with a touchscreen which used to fire mouse button events in kernel 4.4 but no longer does in kernel 5.14?

@mose ah! try these: http://chip.jfpossibilities.com/chip/debian/

@mose thanks for offering the help though -- i've confirmed also that the Xinput2 events generated by the older kernel are indeed different and that explains why pico8 doesn't work on newer kernels :/ i've shot a message to zep and i'm hoping he can offer a solution

@mose that's the package default, the user setting should be in /etc/plymouth/plymouthd.conf -- but i confirmed with someone else that the stock NTC theme is "pkc-theme" and my theme installs fine on a stock pocketchip

@JordiGH i think i might know this one but. i can't be sure

@zep hey zep, i know it's likely very low down on your priority list but it seems upgrading the pocketchip to a newer linux kernel breaks pico8's mouse input. everything else works, we just can't click on anything including the editor. this seems to be because inputs are now handled as touch rather than raw mouse input, would you consider looking into it at any point? thank you for continuing to update pico8 for pocketchip regardless!

@mose there's a package "xinput" which should give you some output with "xinput test-xi2"

@mose unrelated to the touchscreen, does it come with Plymouth and is that what handles the stock boot screen? what is the default theme named if so? (check /usr/share/plymouth/themes)

i made a theme called "pocketchip" and if it conflicts with the default one i want to rename it: https://github.com/Lana-chan/plymouth-theme-pocketchip

@mose does the touch screen work with the latest pico8? (https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=34009 has the zip download, if you can run it, escape to enter the editor and click the icons in the top right then it does), and if so, can you check with xinput what the xi2 events your touch screen fires? (mine says something like TouchBegin and TouchEnd)

it doesn't work on mine and i'm trying to figure out why

do i know anyone with a #pocketchip who's still on kernel 4.4? i'd like to confirm some things with the touch screen without having to reflash mine to an older kernel

and it's released https://github.com/Lana-chan/plymouth-theme-pocketchip

@NanoRaptor yes

it has been 0 days etc

@polpo i know what you mean, though to me even seeing the earliest trinitron TVs from the 70s looks fake. hey, cylindrical picture tubes don't go there!
