NextWindows 1900 HID Touchscreen stopped working in 18.04 (recognized as a mouse instead)

[Raul Dias]

The touch screen on a HP TouchSmart works fine on other releases.
On the beta of 18.04 it stopped to work.

Bus 005 Device 002: ID 1926:0003 NextWindow 1900 HID Touchscreen

On 16.04 it is recognized as TOUCHSCREEN by X.org.
On 18.04 beta 1, it is recognized as mouse.

Upgraded to beta 2 and the same issue continues.

[Raul Dias (rsd)]

The problem might also involve udev, as by these lines:

[ 800.429] (II) event5 - NextWindow Touchscreen: is tagged by udev as: Tablet
[ 800.429] (EE) event5 - NextWindow Touchscreen: libinput bug: missing tablet capabilities: btn-stylus resolution.Ignoring this device.
[ 800.429] (II) event5 - NextWindow Touchscreen: device is a tablet
[ 800.429] (II) event5 - failed to create input device '/dev/input/event5'.

udev should recognize as TouchScreen, not Tablet.

On previous Xorgs, evdev was used, not libinput.

[Raul Dias (rsd)]

Removing xserver-xorg-input-libinput did the tricky.
Now it uses evdev. However, that shouldn't need be necessary.

[Raul Dias (rsd)]

The simplest solution was to add the configuration:

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "NextWindows 1900 HID Touchscreen"
        MatchUSBID "1926:0003"
        Driver "evdev"
EndSection

Raul,

To what config file did you make this change?

Touchscreen still not responsive in 18.04.1

Thanks

[Raul Dias (rsd)]

I created inside /etc/x11/xorg.conf.d/

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

Is this bug still a problem in the latest updates to 18.04?

[Raul Dias (rsd)]

Yes

[Expired for xorg-server (Ubuntu) because there has been no activity for 60 days.]

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

Raul,

Can you please try a much newer (or older) kernel and tell us if that improves the situation?
