Hello everyone, I had a touchscreen that used to work on Arch (last known working is a couple of months ago though) and now it isn't.
I have tried using both evdev and libinput drivers, and both detect the device and configure a bunch of properties but it doesn't work on either. Touching the screen does nothing (including in xev and libinput-debug-events) and I've event tried watching /dev/input/event11 and I get nothing no matter what I do to the touchscreen (as a contrast the device for my touchpad dumps a bunch of stuff when I touch it). I've also tried under both Wayland and X11.
I wonder if anyone has have ideas or suggestions on why this might not be working or other things to try.

I did some more digging and found that even cat /dev/input/event1 doesn't create any output when I touch the screen which seems suspicious.

Hi,
I face the very same behavior.
I guess I miss some kernel package or have a miss config very deep in the Arch OS Core. My trouble with the Touch Pad started when I switched to LTS-Kernel.
I tryed to install snyaptics 'xf86-input-synaptics' and xf86-input-wacom' packages, the configs looked good but still no events recognizable (so I removed them).
The system is up to date everything else work's fine.
I'm afraid that I will run out of ideas soon, I would be happy, about any helpful recommendations how to at least debug the problem.
Thanks for your time in advance.

I have a solution for my problem,
the issue was of cause based on the kernel change, the modules where not matching anymore ...
# mkinitcpio -Pand a reboot helped to solve the issue.
I came to the idea, during a system update (pacman -Syu) the touch pad worked shortly until the reboot, so something was shortly reset to normal.
Conclusion for me, when the drivers do not respond in any way regardless what you do in the configs, check or recreate the initramfs image and reboot ...
