Hi,
I use the Input utility to start the touchscreen from a shell.
But if you close the shell the Input process dies and touchscreen is
disabled. Why does this happen?
Thanks,

Because Input gets a SIGHUP, when you close the terminal session. If
you don’t want this to happen then start Input with the nohup (No
SIGHUP) utility.
e.g. $ nohup Input …

Why not just setup a trap file?
Non-standard input (i.e. not autodetect, cause you won’t find the
touchscreen) should be configured the same way a video card is, make a
trap file called input. and put it in the /etc/config/trap
directory, here is an exmple of my trap file, starting a keyboard and a
mouse, I had one that started a touchscreen, but can’t find it, the
principle is exactly the same.
