kodi 17.3 touchscreen - Lynnboy021 - 2018-03-27 i am trying to get the touchscreen to work for the life of me in kodi 17.3 on a raspberry pi 3 running raspbian pixel..... my main goal is to run CarPC but its useless if touch is not working.... touch works wonders in desktop but not in kodi i am new to all this.... my specs are: 1. raspberry pi 3 2. raspbian pixel 11-25-16 i think 3. 5 inch elecrow RPA05010R touchscreen 4. kodi 17.3 RE: kodi 17.3 touchscreen - JamesGKent - 2018-04-03 I was able to get this working a while ago, with this same screen no less. the issue i found with most instructions was that they were for calibrating under X, where kodi needs its own calibration. I'll see if i can find more details on what i did tonight and post them here. the main reason i no longer have this set up was because gestures of any kind didn't work, so scrolling etc was a real pain. RE: kodi 17.3 touchscreen - JamesGKent - 2018-04-03 to load the touchscreen driver you need to add the following to the /boot/config.txt: Code: hdmi_force_hotplug=1
adding a mouse.xml to the keymaps folder with the following contents is also beneficial:
if your screen is calibrated differently you can work out the factors for kodi by taking the min and max values for each axis in the config.txt file, eg: xmin=200,xmax=3900,ymin=200,ymax=3900 the resolution: W=800, H=480 xstretch=W/(xmax-xmin) xoffset=xmin*xstretch yxstretch=H/(ymax-ymin) yoffset=ymin*ystretch |
