Touchscreen problem

Hello

I am using the gmoccapy gui with a touch screen, I went into the display settings in gmoccapy and ticked the box to hide cursor, and now my touchscreen doesn’t work at all.

Maybe it’s coincidental and it simply stopped working but I was wondering if the hide cursor setting maybe caused the problem? Is there any way I can get it to work again please

Many thanks

the touchscreen is acting as a mouse
so to hide the mouse is not the best to go
you can give it a transparancy if you do not like to show it

After some thought and testing it doesn’t look like the hide cursor button is my problem. After a reboot the touchscreen works, but seems to turn off completely after a few minutes. I’m not sure what could be causing this.

I just had a chance to mess about with some things to see I could remedy the problem,
I tried lsusb but the command was not found, I tried apt get install usbutils but I didn’t work but that may be because my machine is not connected to the internet.

I tried dmesg this gave me the number for the touchscreen (2-1) which is a 3m MicroTouch ex11.
So I tried
echo -1 > /sys/bus/usb/devices/2-1/power/autosuspend
But that didn’t work due to permission denied iirc.

I did notice one thing when I did the dmesg command though, it was a warning about power level depreciated, use power control instead.
I’m also using a temporary usb extension lead, I know that I’ve had power issues before when using these.

In dmesg I saw something about possible emi causing the thing to keep shutting down, it would make some sense as the usb runs right past a dc spindle drive on my very messy test bench, I have moved the wire and the problem appears to have gone.
