HP Revolve 810 - Atmel Maxtouch Digitizer not working

[wemaro]

Hi all,

For the last couple of days I've been trying to figure out how to get my touchscreen working. It doesn't respond at all. I've tried a lot of things but they were almost all 'try and fail'. I know it can work because during all my experimenting with different installs I managed to get it working a couple of times, but for a short period of time.
I didn't wanted a lot of unnecessary stuff on my system so I installed Kali again a couple of times when I got the touchscreen working. But, after a fresh install when I try to repeat, what I thought were the necessary steps, I can't get it to work in the end. I'm relatively new to linux and not really experienced when it comes to getting the right drivers, compiling my own kernel etc. I hope someone here can help me fix this problem because it's driving me crazy.

I have the following setup:
HP Revolve 810
Kali GNU/Linux Rolling 64-bit
Gnome version 3.20.2
Installed on HDD

xinput output:

Testing with evtest give no output at all..


It feels like the solution is as easy as changing a config file somewhere. I've read that most touchscreens work out of the box with Kali. I just hope someone can point me in the right direction.
