mouse pointer not working in ti matrix application running on OMAPL138

A mouse can be used instead of touchscreen input with the Matrix GUI by following these steps. It is also possible to use touchscreen and mouse input simultaneously.

On your Target File system, edit the file:

/etc/init.d/matrix-gui-e

This script file will set Mouse support by default, but if it detects a touchscreen, then it will setup touchscreen support. If you comment out the touchscreen support then the default will remain mouse support. Use the '#' to comment out the line below:

the file is as shown below

#! /bin/sh

matrixgui="/usr/bin/matrix_guiE"
GUI_OPTS="-qws -display transformed:Rot0 /usr/share/matrix/html/menu_main_1.html"
PIDFILE="/var/run/matrix-gui-e.pid"

test -x "$matrixgui" || exit 0

export TSLIB_TSDEVICE=/dev/input/touchscreen0
export QWS_MOUSE_PROTO=Tslib:/dev/input/touchscreen0

case "$1" in
  start)
    chvt 4
    if [ ! -f /etc/pointercal ] ; then
        echo -n "Calibrating touchscreen (first time only)"
        ts_calibrate
        echo "."
    fi

    if [ -e $PIDFILE ]; then
      PIDDIR=/proc/$(cat $PIDFILE)
      if [ -d ${PIDDIR} -a  "$(readlink -f ${PIDDIR}/exe)" = "${matrixgui}" ]; then
        echo "$DESC already started; not starting."
      else
        echo "Removing stale PID file $PIDFILE."
        rm -f $PIDFILE
      fi
    fi

    echo -n "Starting Matrix GUI application"
    start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --background --exec $matrixgui -- $GUI_OPTS
    pidof ${matrixgui} > $PIDFILE
    echo "."
    ;;

  stop)
    echo -n "Stopping Matrix GUI application"
    start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --pidfile /var/run/matrix-gui-e.pid
    echo "."
    ;;
  *)
    echo "Usage: /etc/init.d/matrix-gui-e {start|stop}"
    exit 1
esac

exit 0

here lies the selection for the control for touch screen and mouse

export TSLIB_TSDEVICE=/dev/input/touchscreen0
export QWS_MOUSE_PROTO=Tslib:/dev/input/touchscreen0

For Mouse support, Replace:

export TSLIB_TSDEVICE=/dev/input/touchscreen0
export QWS_MOUSE_PROTO=Tslib:/dev/input/touchscreen0

with

export TSLIB_TSDEVICE=/dev/input/touchscreen0
#export QWS_MOUSE_PROTO=Tslib:/dev/input/touchscreen0

thus we made it inactive...

to make work both the touch screen and mouse pointer simultaneosly, replace the two lines with

export TSLIB_TSDEVICE=/dev/input/touchscreen0
export QWS_MOUSE_PROTO="Tslib:/dev/input/touchscreen0 Auto"

which selects the both devices...

The Kernel has been configured to enable mouse support in your SDK, so this step is not necessary if you are using the SDK.

If you have built your own kernel: The kernel must be configured to include the PS/2 mouse support. To verify this, run the menuconfig utility.But before running this you should have allthe cross compilers in your pc.

From you Linux root directory:
make  menuconfig

or

From you Linux root directory:
make  ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-arago-linux-gnueabi- menuconfig

Look under:

Device Drivers ---> Input device support ---> <*> Mouse interface

Device Drivers ---> Input device support ---> <*> Mice --->

If mouse support is not already included in the kernel, enable the above two configuration by typing 'y' and rebuild the kernel.
