But - you do not need all that library stuff for Kodi 
Just tested, I only had to add following lines to file /home/xbian/.kodi/userdata/advancedsettings.xml,
Code:
<touchscreen>
<x_offset>-32</x_offset> <!-- cursor pixel x offset -->
<y_offset>-35</y_offset> <!-- cursor pixel y offset -->
<x_stretch_factor>0.209</x_stretch_factor> <!-- stretch factor -->
<y_stretch_factor>0.131</y_stretch_factor> <!-- stretch factor -->
</touchscreen>
modifying file /usr/local/share/kodi/system/keymaps/mouse.xml [1]
and restart Kodi (v17! from devel repo)
[1] would be good idea to copy this file into folder /home/xbian/.kodi/userdata/keymaps and edit it there
Sounds promising, however I'm confused as to the modifying mouse.XML file - what kind of modifying?
I'll test this out tonight.
Alright, so far, what I've done:
Updated to kodi v17 via the devel repo.
Edited advanced settings:
sudo nano /home/xbian/.kodi/userdata/advancedsettings.xml
I copied this text:
<touchscreen>
<x_offset>-32</x_offset> <!-- cursor pixel x offset -->
<y_offset>-35</y_offset> <!-- cursor pixel y offset -->
<x_stretch_factor>0.209</x_stretch_factor> <!-- stretch factor -->
<y_stretch_factor>0.131</y_stretch_factor> <!-- stretch factor -->
</touchscreen>
Into that file, and saved it.
I then opened the /usr/local/share/kodi/system/keymaps/mouse.xml file,
And copied the text:
<mouse>
<leftclick>leftclick</leftclick>
<rightclick>rightclick</rightclick>
<middleclick>middleclick</middleclick>
<doubleclick id="0">noop</doubleclick>
<longclick id="0">contextmenu</longclick>
<wheeldown>wheeldown</wheeldown>
<wheelup>wheelup</wheelup>
<mousedrag>mousedrag</mousedrag>
<mousedragend>leftclick</mousedragend>
<mousemove>noop</mousemove>
</mouse>
Into it. Saved, exited, rebooted.
No dice. The mouse now doesn't work AT ALL. Before I edited the mouse.xml file, I could get some kind of control from the upper left of the screen....now, nothing.
I may have completely messed up my mouse.xml file....how do I get the original back?!
What did you do exactly?
I suppose you just added the lines to the end of the files /home/xbian/.kodi/userdata/advancedsettings.xml and /usr/local/share/kodi/system/keymaps/mouse.xml
That is definitively wrong
Here is my working version of mouse.xml and advancedsettings.xml:
mouse.xml:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!-- This file contains the mapping of mouse keys to actions within Kodi. -->
<!-- -->
<!-- The format is: -->
<!-- <window> -->
<!-- <device> -->
<!-- <button>action</button> -->
<!-- </device> -->
<!-- </window> -->
<!-- -->
<!-- The <global> section is a fall through - they will only be used if the button is -->
<!-- not used in the current window's section. -->
<!-- -->
<!-- Actions can be built-in functions. -->
<!-- eg <middleclick>ActivateWindow(Music)</middleclick> -->
<!-- would automatically go to Music on the press of the middle mouse button. -->
<!-- -->
<!-- -->
<!-- An empty action removes the corresponding mapping from default and parent keymaps. -->
<!-- This is different from a "noop" action, which disables a button. -->
<!-- -->
<!-- Button Ids: -->
<!-- 0: left -->
<!-- 1: right -->
<!-- 2: middle -->
<!-- 3/4/5/6: extra -->
<!-- -->
<!-- More documentation on keymaps can be found on http://kodi.wiki/view/keymaps -->
<keymap>
<global>
<mouse>
<leftclick>leftclick</leftclick>
<rightclick>rightclick</rightclick>
<middleclick>middleclick</middleclick>
<doubleclick id="0">noop</doubleclick>
<longclick id="0">contextmenu</longclick>
<wheeldown>wheeldown</wheeldown>
<wheelup>wheelup</wheelup>
<mousedrag>mousedrag</mousedrag>
<mousedragend>leftclick</mousedragend>
<mousemove>noop</mousemove>
</mouse>
</global>
<SlideShow>
<mouse>
<leftclick>Pause</leftclick>
<rightclick>PreviousMenu</rightclick>
<wheelup>PreviousPicture</wheelup>
<wheeldown>NextPicture</wheeldown>
</mouse>
</SlideShow>
<FullscreenVideo>
<mouse>
<rightclick>Info</rightclick>
</mouse>
</FullscreenVideo>
</keymap>
You can use this mouse.xml as it is. And again: would be good idea to copy this file into folder /home/xbian/.kodi/userdata/keymaps and edit it there because if you don't, those changes will be overwitten by xbian-package-xbmc update

Note: Please do NOT replace my advancedsettings.xml with your version it is just an example how to insert the touchscreen section into this file (before !!! </advancedsettings> and not behind)
I absolutely HATE to revive a long dead thread.
However: This is a problem again.
I have the exact same setup from my initial problem, Except Now I've reinstalled the latest xbian for Rpi3, and changed the pi2 to a pi3.
I'm trying to run the Sainsmart 7" touchscreen with the latest xbian.
I tried booting it without doing anything, it runs, but the screen doesn't display. Plug into a tv, it works fine.
SSH into the box, add the /boot.config.txt configuration, boot plugged into a tv, change the resolution, And the screen works great!
Cannot get the touch screen working properly. I remembered this thread, and I had it working on the jukebox I made, but the same steps taken have no effect - the touch screen senses touch, but the cursor is all over the place.
HELP?
