I did some more searching on the manufactures website of my touchscreen and says it needs the 'hid-multitouch'. I tried following there instructions linked bellow. Can you think of anything else?

Thanks,
Ok, let's make a step back, as it seems you don't know what I'm talking about.
First of all to make a touchscreen to work on the Raspberry Pi, you need some knowledge of the Linux operating system. For example what is a kernel driver, how to load/unload it, how to edit files/scripts, etc.
How to type the command to check the /dev/input events is written in the PDF guide I send with my image. Paragraph 7.4. Did you check it ?
The instructions you posted above are quite clear to me. Have you tried what they have written ?
Code: Select all
modprobe hid-multitouch
echo W X Y Z > /sys/module/hid_multitouch/drivers/hid\:hid-multitouch/new_id
Also, where do you get the XOrg from and how to use it?
X.Org is the server providing graphics (and with a window manager, a windowing system) on Linux since more than 20 years.
By default it is installed in a standard Raspbian image. Not in mine. I have written this too in the PDF guide. Chapter 1.
Now the question is: you have written "I have tried using the raspbian image to make sure it works straight out of the box which it does.", so how did you test it ? Booting a Raspbian image into X.Org and checking the cursor was moving when pressing the touchscreen ?
Can you type the command 'lsmod' on that image and paste the output here ?
