PineTab2 Touchscreen - livanti21 - 06-07-2023
Hello,
I received my PineTab2 a couple of days ago and I really enjoy the product. The one thing I've noticed is the touchscreen is not responding. I checked the settings and it's enabled. Is there a known issue with the touchscreen or something I'm missing? Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Mine seemed to work but then, despite the cursor moving around, it wouldn't respond to tapping on anything, so I couldn't hit a "button" of any kind.
I forcibly shut it down (holding power), and when I restarted it worked normally again and I was able to get around some.

Re: touchscreen not responding, I noticed that, too.
Like you, the first thing I checked was System Settings -> Input Devices -> Touchscreen -- and it was still enabled.
Later I was in System Settings -> Workspace Behavior -> General Behavior, where there's a "Touch Mode" option. The "info" button beside "Automatically enable as needed" (the default setting) said that Touch Mode would be activated whenever it noticed no mouse or touchpad. My guess was it saw me using those and disabled the touchscreen.
I changed it to "Always enabled." Now my touchscreen always works. And the added benefit is it made the buttons at the top of each window bigger for convenient fingertapping.
While I was at it, I changed Settings -> Window Behavior -> Window Management -> Window placement to be "Maximized" so that when I launch applications they automatically go full-screen. Lookin' for that tablet behavior.

I appreciate the input. Touchscreen is working as I would expect. Thanks again guys!

It looks to me as though, particularly after sleeping, the touchscreen often stops working. Just happened for the 2nd or 3rd time. Hard reset fixes it. Sounds like a bug to work out in the OS and not a proper showstopper.
