Debian 12 vs iptsd

[horvathcsabalaszlo]

Hi,

I re-imaged my tablet with Debian12 (KDE Neon eaten too much RAM.)
And again, spam touches, and without ipsd, the touch screen stops, as it happened on Neon in #91
But after installing the new iptsd, Neon was OK, Debian 12 not.

• i downloaded and built the kernel module, but in the kernel it's already the 1.0.0 version
• could not build iptsd, because of missing hidrd. (log below, hidrd is banned from Debian)
• downloaded the latest Github action for iptsd, installed, and the touch screen does not work at all

Now i have the Surface kernel stock iptsd : iptsd/unknown,now 0.5.1-1 amd64

Can someone please help me how to get the iptsd working with the new version?

Thanks for any help :)

downloaded the latest Github action for iptsd, installed, and the touch screen does not work at all

you have to reinstall kernelspace driver too but it depends on your device model

so without device model, I could not tell the detailed instruction

It's a Surface 4 Pro. I tried to build the kernel module, but the dkms install said that the module 1.0.0 is already installed.

In the meantime as a workaround i set the stability threshold to 0.9 in ipts.conf, so it seems at least usable,but not as good as it was in the previous setup.

This was a recent change by DKMS. Try sudo dkms autoinstall --force --all

Got a strange message. The scary thing is that i have the headers installed :D

$ sudo dkms autoinstall --force --all
Sign command: /lib/modules//build/scripts/sign-file
Binary /lib/modules//build/scripts/sign-file not found, modules won't be signed
Error! Your kernel headers for kernel  cannot be found at /lib/modules//build or /lib/modules//source.
Please install the linux-headers- package or use the --kernelsourcedir option to tell DKMS where it's located.
Error! One or more modules failed to install during autoinstall.
Refer to previous errors for more information.

Tried to build :

$ sudo make dkms-install
cp -r /home/colt/Dokumentumok/iptsd/intel-precise-touch /usr/src/ipts-1.0.0
dkms add ipts/1.0.0
Error! DKMS tree already contains: ipts-1.0.0
You cannot add the same module/version combo more than once.
make: *** [Makefile:45: dkms-install] Error 3

However, after this, the touch screen stopped responding after i rebooted :D

But since i set stability threshold to 0.9 in ipts.conf , the screen is working mostly OK. Strange...
