Ubuntu 13.04 + touch screen: points, though doesn't click
5,165
I've had the same issue; the good news is that there's a patch to fix it -- see (1) and (2). Follow the steps below (at your own risk) to apply the patch, compile the source, and install the patched packages:
- Install the build dependencies for the source package
sudo apt-get build-dep xorg-server
- Download the xorg-server package
sudo apt-get source xorg-server
-
cd
to the directory created by the previous command
- Download the patch, which can be found at 2
- Apply the patch you just downloaded
patch -p0 < ~/Downloads/touch-fix.patch
(assuming the patch is in ~/Downloads) - Compile and generate the packages (.deb files)
debuild -b -us -uc
- Install the packages
sudo dpkg -i ../*.deb
- Restart your machine
I hope this helps.

Works well with nautilus and settings. Other places: I tap, cursor points, no further action. Guide me. I need it. What to do?
