Xephyr with dual touchscreens

SUSE Product Topics SLES Configure-Administer

Hello,

I have two touch screen devices currently working in SLES 12 SP3. What I would like to do is have Xephyr run a separate (essentially multiseat) window on the second monitor with it’s own touch screen independent of the main screen.

Issue being, I cannot seem to get Xephyr to grab/allow touch. The command I’m using are as follows:

Xephyr -ac -br -noreset -screen 1280x800 :1 -mouse evdev,,device=/dev/input/event5

/dev/input/event5 is as follows:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root  9 Apr  9 11:18 usb-Synaptics_Inc._Composite_TouchPad___TrackPoint-mouse -> ../mouse4

Is there something wrong with the command that i’m expecting to run, or perhaps am I missing an essential part of the setup? If there is any better way to accomplish this in SLES 12 sp3 I’m open to ideas as well!

As an update, it would appear that I’ve gotten touch events to read via “ILITEK_ILITEK-TP_V06.00.00.02” but the actual ‘mouse presses’ (aka taps) are still not registering and nothing appears to be selectable.
