Hi,
have attached a normal Monitor with Touchscreen abilities to my Raspberry/Dietpi via HDMI. The Monitor shows the LXDE desktop. Very good. But how to I get running the touchscreen abilities? I plugged in the USB connection Monitor/Raspberry but it does not work. Guess I have to install any kind of packages?
What is to do?
Kind regards.
I think it depends on the model. What’s the exact model of the monitor?
did you tried plain Raspberry OS if it is working there?
No, might it not work with linux at all?
Honestly I don’t know. I guess there is nobody in this forum who tested it with this device. But if you have a spare SD card, you could give it a try and test it using plain RPi OS.
OK, I will try it during this weekend. Thanks
Hi,
I have tested it. It did not work either.
But then I connected the USB Raspberry Port to USB-C Monitor Port with an extra adapter (USB+Power to USB-C) and now it works fine.
Thank you all
Probably there was not enough power for the touch screen to be working?
Yes, it was a power problem. Solved it with an Y cable.
