Porteus and domoticz on surface pro3 -Issue with touchscreen

Post#1 by Rocky23 » 28 Feb 2024, 20:04

Hi all,
I wanted to use my Surface Pro 3 as a kiosk and could see that Porteus should do this perfectly.
I have done the installation and all seems to be fine, but...
The URL in Proteus is linked to my Domoticz server, so that I can see directly the Domoticz dashboard (it's a Home automation soft)
This is working well, however when I try to activate a light as example, I can see the cursor on my touchscreen, but by touching the light to put it on, nothing happened.
It´s like the click is not recognized.
Do you have any idea, I have tested it with Firefox and Chrome, same result. When I connect a mouse, it's working well.

Not sure if someone can help me with this issue.
As I'm new with Porteus, maybe I missed a setup, but after several try I can´t find the source of the issue.

Hello Rocky,

As far as I remember Surface Pro requires a 3rd party driver for the touch screen.

Please generate debug report in the wizard and send it to builds@porteus-kiosk.org so we can verify this.

Thanks
Please add [Solved] to your thread title if the solution was found.
