Hey DougieLawson. Works good. But does not register mouse input, either cursor or buttons.

I expierenced the same issue with touch. I needed to install input-utils to have lsinput available. After installing it touch events were recognized properly

installed "input-utils" and it crashed and made my RPi a "brick" in the middle of start-up.

I've had problems with "backlight_dimmer" since the newest RPi updates. Worse with a fresh install of the latest RPi, as backlight_dimmer no longer recognizes any touch on the screen.

Hope you can help with a working patch...

I'm using the official Raspberry Pi 7" Touch Display and a fresh install of Raspberry Pi OS lite. After installing "input-utils" via sudo apt install input-utils the backlight comes back and its working good.
