i might be relatively new with linux, and i might have installed too much...

but after installing almost all input drivers in xorg and tslib, every time i try to login, it fails and brings the login page again.

Hey thanks. Ok. I installed Deepin now with a clean installation. Does it matter to you?
Does tslib supposed to work on my environment? I can't find a specific answer about that.

Do you recommend that I install again?

Do you know if after the tslib install, am I supposed to get multitouch already, or only after I install this repo?

Thank you for answering

tslib itself supports multitouch. if you use X11, you can use this driver version 0.0.7 but then you'd have singletouch only. I recommend not using this driver at all, but reading tslib's documentation itself and use it's included "ts_uinput" daemon program to make tslib (and its filters) available as a standard evdev device. martin Am 18.

ok. now i think i start to understand my challenge.
how do i "decide" which driver my system uses? x11, evdev, libinput, synaptic, ts_uinput, etc...
sorry i continue to post this questions here, since you are the only one to actually answer :)

i posted also in the tslib git issues as well.

is it only by setting the variable WatchAsTouchScreen to off or on?
or is it something more than that?

currently on my system in the x11 folder i have only libinput, i believe.

and about the tslib installation (which failed) i posted on their forum.
