Problems connecting LCD and touch to your Pine64? Make sure to use the following instructions:

Problems getting LCD/touch to work with Linux? Check out the following:
https://docs.armbian.com/board_details/pine64/
both Debian and Ubuntu Armbian builds worked for me if you follow the instructions for editing the armbianEnv.txt.
Load the gt9xxf_ts kernel module, and the touch interface should work although you still need to configure X.
I can currently cat the raw device from /dev/input/eventX and verify that the touch device works but haven't figured out how to get X11 to load the evdev module for it. My XOrg.log says that it can't find a driver for it. Tried adding a "99-touch.conf" file to xorg.conf.d directory, but no luck. Anyone have a pointer to how to resolve this problem? The XOrg.Log file looks the same with or without this additional .conf file. Not necessarily a Pine64 question but one that will help other Pine64 Touch users.
I am not sure if i understand your question, when you say: "Load the gt9xxf_ts kernel module, and the touch interface should work although you still need to configure X. ", you mean you can get the Touch events but it does not work in X11?
