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>  <y_offset>-35</y_offset>  <x_stretch_factor>0.209</x_stretch_factor>  <y_stretch_factor>0.131</y_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> 
<y_offset>-35</y_offset> 
<x_stretch_factor>0.209</x_stretch_factor> 
<y_stretch_factor>0.131</y_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

Exclamation

That is definitively wrong Exclamation

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?
