[SOLVED] Touch driver not working with latest Kernels

schard · 2017-10-16 14:04:01

Hi all,

I have a PC with an ELO APR touchscreen.
The only working driver I found for this is the archived proprietary driver.
This one works with Kernel linux-lts 4.9.53-1 but not with any newer LTS kernel or the mainline kernel.
In those cases I get the following error:

Previously I also got memory corruption warnings in dmesg, which I was able to suppress by setting memory_corruption_check_size=512K, that looked like this:

Those memory corruption warnings only appear when I boot the newest kernels (linux-lts-4.9.56-1, linux-4.13.6-1) but not with linux-lts 4.9.53-1.

What is the problem with the newer kernels and (how) can I fix it?

The kernel does not have a stable driver interface. So chances are the developers of the driver simply have not updated to work on the newest kernels (this wouldn't be a problem if it were upstream, of course). Have you tried contacting the developer of the driver to ask?

@GenkiSky: The Systems are seven years old an the drivers no longer supported (hence I mentioned "archived") by the manufacturer.

The touch screen works again wih Kernel 4.9.61-1-lts. So I suspect that it was a bug in Kernel linux-lts-4.9.56-1.
