Responding to touch events

rhyst · 02-03-2019, 06:50 AM

I've got a Kindle Touch displaying weather and calendar information. Its just cronjob/curl png from server/eips sort of thing.

I was wondering if it is possible to respond to touch events? I'd quite like to be able to turn wifi on and off without returning to the normal screen for example.

Thanks.

IIRC, the touchscreen is *never* grabbed exclusively by the framework, so, yeah.

It's bog-standard Linux evdev stuff after that.
