Good to know, then i'll see if i can figure out how/where/why

Thank you so much!
This worked.
All is good now!

@CH23: Mostly over here.

Which means we also need to know the codename, but that's as easy as running /bin/kobo_config.sh .

Kobo Nova is the codename.

I tried to set it up same as glo hd + naturallight, which gave me no touch control
then i tried the setup for the aura ONE, same result.

Also tried without defining touch properties.


What's interesting to note is that, while koreader was booting, it registered my finger fpr just long enough to bring up a menu. But then nothing.

KOReader is working.

add to device.lua the following:

-- Kobo Clara HD:
local KoboNova = Kobo:new{
model = "Kobo_nova",
hasFrontlight = yes,
touch_snow_protocol = true,
touch_mirrored_x = false,
touch_probe_ev_epoch_time = true,
display_dpi = 300,
hasNaturalLight = yes,
}

and


elseif codename == "nova" then
return KoboNova

KSM uses the touch driver provided in the pbchess package. Could you please contact the author, sergeyvl12, and offer your help? See this post. And here is his forum.

Could you tell me where i can find more info abou this? What code within KSM should i look at, or what code in pbchess?

The script etc/init.d/rcS exports based on the value of PRODUCT the name of the touch driver to be used for KSM as mousedriver.
The script adds/kbmenu/onstart/checkinstall.sh checks whether this touch driver is available in adds/kbmenu/Qt/plugins/mousedrivers. If it does not find it there, it tries to copy it from mnt/onboard/.adds/kbmenu_user/copyrepos.
Currently there are two touch drivers available in KSM: libKoboTS.so and libKoboTS_h2o2.so. Since your device model is not known to KSM it tries to use libKoboTS.so.

The source code of the drivers are here.

Sadly this didn't change anything in terms of the framebuffer orientation...

Just to be sure, did you press "handle update" and so on?

I hoped it'd be easy. I've replaced 'snow' with 'snow|nova' within the rcS file.
It copies the libKoboTS_h2o2.so to the mousedrivers directory, but it doesn't seem to work directly.

I'll check to see where, within all files, 'snow' is used (as it seems that nova might be similar to it)

EDIT: I have touch control!

added nova to adds/kbmenu/onstart/ksmhome.sh

Right now touch is 'flipped' (when i touch in top left, it thinks i touch bottom left)

Hava a look at this experiment. Try to reverse the values that you now have. ksmrotate=2 or 0; mrotation=90 or 180; remove QWS_MOUSE_PROTO=KoboTS from the command.
And of course, no need now to copy the driver.

I think we're misunderstanding eachother:

The screen is shown correctly, but touch is wrong:

If i touch on the left, it will register on the right
If i touch on the right, it will register on the left
If i touch at the top, it will register on the top
If i touch at the bottom, it will register on the bottom

The correct ksmrotate value is 2
The correct mrotate value is 270

I tried adding 'touch_mirrored_x = true,' to device.lua, but this does not seem to do anything

Different from the other dirver, he touch driver for the H2o2v2 does not adjust to the rotation of the application, but is in a fixed position. Therefore my intention was to turn the framebuffer orientation 180, degree, and at the same time the KSM application's screen also 180 degree. I did however not understand that the touch coordinates are really horizontally mirrored, rather than rotated. Evidently, I did not read your report until the end.

You mean with regard to KSM. KSM and Koreader are totally independent of each other.

Sorry for being short, but I have to dash the door.
