touchscreeh doesn't accept input

[henrythemouse]

Have you tried booting a fresh image off an SD card to check if the problem is software or hardware? You could even try installing Megi's u-boot since it supports touch at the bootloader stage (see https://xnux.eu/log/098.html, just unzip on the phone and run sudo ./spinor-flash-initial-setup.sh)

I appreciate the suggestion, I'll give it try.

I tried Megi's u-boot and indeed the boot process attempts to load touch support very early on. Too early to provide any help. The boot process stops as soon as the Goodix-TS driver tries to load and fails. Too early for any network access. 

However, after rebooting into Mobian, some touch action did work. I have no clue if it was something I did, something debian did or just luck. I was able to start 4 apps by tapping on there icons. And then it stopped working. This is what I found in dmesg:

Code:

[  11.147176] Goodix-TS 3-0014: ID 1158, version: 0100
[  11.147340] Goodix-TS 3-0014: Direct firmware load for goodix_1158_cfg.bin failed with error -2
[  11.169864] input: Goodix Capacitive TouchScreen as /devices/platform/ff130000.i2c/i2c-3/3-0014/input/input3

Followed by these errors repeated over and over:

Code:

[  478.464228] Goodix-TS 3-0014: Error writing 1 bytes to 0x814e: -110
[  481.344087] Goodix-TS 3-0014: Error reading 10 bytes from 0x814e: -110

... 522 lines of Goodix errors

A loose connection maybe?
