SUMMARY *** Touchscreen mapping does nothing when you have multiple monitors *** STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Have 2 or more screens 2. Have 1 of them be a touch screen 3. Make sure all of them are independent (no cloning) 4. Under touchscreen, set the "Target display" to be one of the displays (not automatic) 5. Use touch screen OBSERVED RESULT 1. The mouse sill gets mapped to 3 different screens rather than that 1 screen EXPECTED RESULT Have the mouse mapped to that one screeen SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Using KDE Neon Testing 20240207-1524 Using Plasma 6 and Wayland; I haven't tested for X11 yet but I can if need be

Cannot reproduce on Plasma 6 Wayland with hardware capable of demonstrating the problem. I can choose which display I want to target, and that display is the only one that gets the touchscreen input. What happens if you change the target display to another value that isn't "Automatic"? Does *anything* change, or is the tap still mapped to both screens? Something unusual I notice in your screen recording is that the pointer is still visible when you tap. That's not expected on Wayland, and it's not what I see. Are you sure you're using Wayland? Very cool setup, BTW.

Resistive touchscreens tend to have a different Linux driver compared to a normal capacitive touchscreen. > > What happens if you change the target display to another value that isn't > "Automatic"?

I can set it to any display including automatic and it still maps the same exact way. > > Something unusual I notice in your screen recording is that the pointer is > still visible when you tap.

The thing about resistive displays is that it pretends to be a mouse but with absolute coordinates rather than relative coordinates. > > Very cool setup, BTW. Thanks :-). My dental practice is right now using KDE/Plasma 5 and I am hoping to upgrade to Plasma 6 later this year once these kinds of issues are fixed.
