I posted for how to add Touchscreen support for Debian for A13 in December 2012, but things changed a bit since then so I got GitHub pull request from Nikita Maslov. We tested his patches and they work fine on A13 so his request was pull and merged in our GitHub account.
On top of this he made small post on his blog how to implement it, which I link here: http://www.dimrobotics.com/2013/06/olinuxino-a13-touchscreen-support-in.html

Could you please post a prebuild image of this patched release ?
Best Regards.

I’ve followed the recipe, it seems to work well when I start X11 using “startx”, but “lightdm” doesn’t like it, it is segfaulting at startup :
[ 26.779] xf86TslibUninit
[ 26.779] xf86TslibControlProc
[ 26.779]
[ 26.779] Backtrace:
[ 26.779]
[ 26.779] Segmentation fault at address (nil)
[ 26.779]
Fatal server error:

Any chances that you will post a complete prebuild image patched for the 7″ touchscreen that you sell as a companion for the a13_olinuxino ?
Best Regards.

PS : If i remove /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-ts.conf file, X will startup, but without touchscreen support.

PPS :
-I used the single image for A13MICRO that exist and the only one who works with MICRO , A13_Micro_Debian_1GHz_GPIO_100kHz_I2C_WIFI_USB_LAN_without_X_and_touch_second_release;
-I needed to install extra LIBTOOL and AUTOCONF packages.
