The display and mouse bahave normal if a mouse is connected. As soon as I replace the mouse at the USB connector with the Touchscreen no more mouse movement or mouse actions take place.

Is the Modul:

‎touchkitusb

loaded at boot.

You can check this by doing

lsub

as a root in the console and look if you see ‎touchkitusb somewhere in the list.

If not put a line called ‎touchkitusb in /etc/modprobe.preload (as root) and reboot.

Also, run this command as root:

 

grep -10 touchkitusb /var/log/messages

 

and paste the output here. thanks!
