I have repurposed an old Adafruit 2.8" PiTFT Capacitive Touch screen onto an old Raspberry Pi 3B+ and have a question about configuring the touch screen itself. The system is running bookworm:
The official configuration instructions for the Adafruit 2.8" PiTFT Capacitive Touch mostly work with bookworm despite being old, as a display. However, there does not seem to be a way to get the touch screen to work as a mouse. If I plug in a normal mouse, I can move the pointer around. With just the touch screen by itself, nothing happens and the pointer neither moves nor "clicks". It seems to act like a plain 320x240 monitor without touch capacity.
I guess the mouse section is too old. For example, nothing is found in regards to the drivers:
I do see the following in the dmesg output:
What should I look at to get the touch screen working as a mouse?
