I there anything logged in the kernel log (dmesg)?Yes, thank you, this worked. My touches were not sensed this morning and running these two commands sorted it. I have added the following lines to my crontab to hopefully prevent this form happening in the future:Code:
0 8 * * * sudo rmmod edt-ft5x061 8 * * * sudo modprobe edt-ft5x06
The kernel shouldn't stop polling the touch controller after a period, but it's possible there is a timer overflow lurking. Unloading and reloading the driver may do a reset on the touch chip (I'd need to check the code), but it also shouldn't just stop responding.
