Well, it's been a while since I posted something here, but anyways here I am with some awesome news for all owners of the 7-inch monster. I guess all of us have shared the disappointment with the fact that you can't actually drag some objects using the laptop's trackpad (that little red pimple squeezed among the keys) or the touchscreen. This is particularly annoying whenever you try to arrange things on the Windows taskbar or try to use specific programs, like LibreOffice or GoldenDict, that don't support the touchscreen natively. Fortunately, I think I've found the solution. Yes, it requires third-party software, but it works! Here it is: https://www.lovesummertrue.com/touchmousepointer/en-us/download.html I don't know about you, guys, but it's a lifesaver for me. The only disadvantage is that today this tiny utility is a part of a rather large suite, but you can turn off all other options, keeping only TouchMousePointer. Basically, it turns your entire screen into a touchpad, so you can finally scroll in programs that don't support touchscreen (I use it for LibreOffice writer, and it made my life a lot easier) and drag elements on the taskbar! Amazing, isn't it?

I tried all of the drivers. I have a Toposh 7 inch mini laptop with 8gb RAM and a J4125 processor. It doesn't matter what I do, nothing gets the touch screen fixed. It always says 5 point touch, when it should be 10 point touch. I tried reinstalling windows 10 several times - nothing. Now I'm using windows 11 and again nothing. I literally tried all of the touch screen drivers, including the ones from the Toposh website: https://toposh.com.cn/en/col.jsp?id=109 (page 2) Could anyone please, please, please tell me what am I doing wrong or forgetting to do in order to get the touch screen to work again? Thank you!

Hello all, I am new here, but just purchased the 7 inch N4000 which is slightly different to the other J4105 model. The first difference is, it appears to be fan-less. Secondly, the BIOS is locked down to the point that no settings persist a reboot. This being said, I have had luck installing Ubuntu 24 with full functionality. So I wanted to share some advise for anyone doing the same. 1. Booting into a USB After installing your Ubuntu 24 ISO onto the USB, plug it into the back (important) port. Press the DEL try on startup to get into BIOS. Then under "Save & Exist" select the Boot Bypass USB device at the bottom. 2. Installing Ubuntu For the most part this is easy and no issues here. Just follow the onscreen instructions 3. Screen rotation Personally, I just used the built in Display Settings menu. Then selected Portrait Left for the orientation. the only issue with this, is that it wont affect the initial Login screen. Personally, I have auto-login on boot which resolves this. (I will update this part once I have time to mess around with Wayland) 4. Sound No issues here, worked out the box! 5. Touch Screen This also worked fine after installation, both on X11 and Wayland. But, when the laptop comes out of Suspend the touchscreen driver becomes unresponsive. the way to resolve this is to create a systemd service which restarts the is how! Here is how (/path/to/ should be replaced) 5a. First create /path/to/reboot_goodix.sh with the following: #!/bin/bash sudo modprobe -r goodix_ts sleep 2 sudo modprobe goodix_ts 5b. Then make it executable with: chmod +x /path/to/restart_goodix.sh 5c. Now make a service: sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/restart-goodix.service Add the content: [Unit] Description=Restart Goodix Touchscreen Driver [Service] ExecStart=/path/to/restart_goodix.sh Type=oneshot [Install] WantedBy=suspend.target WantedBy=hibernate.target WantedBy=sleep.target 6. Mouse Buttons this was a painful experience with Wayland as xdotool and xmodmap were not working. Instead, install input-mapper and launch input-mapper-gtk and edit the keyboard config. You can record a button, left click, then tie to a mouse event, mouse BTN_LEFT By default left click is tied to KP_Begin and right click tied to Menu. 7. Temperatures They were quite high and a stress test hit around 75c which wasnt ideal as there isnt a fan. I ended up purchasing 5mm Thermal pads and covering as much of the copper plate sitting on the CPU as possible. I also replaced the stock Thermal Paste with Thermal grizzly extreme. My max temps after 1hour stress test is now around 60c. I hoped this helps someone! I will add more information as time goes on :)
