Touchscreen unable to click with attached touchscreen IR

[cocarrig]

Describe the bug Using a USB based IR touchscreen, after first setup and a subsequent reboot the touchscreen does not interact with the browser. If the USB connection is disconnected and connected again it will work for landscape, but not portrait matrix. Saving the orientation on the config page appears to resolve issue until the next reboot.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Deploy 3.53 on Pi 4B
2. Connect IR panel and complete setup in portrait orientation
3. reboot device
4. note that touch no longer interacts with screen for scrolling

Expected behavior Touch function in chromium should persist reboots.

I have this issue with 3.53. I downgraded to legacy DAKOS 3.42 to fix the issue until a new DAKOS release addresses this issue.

Current Status:

• This issue appears to have been caused from steps completed to accomodate different touch panels. Certain touchpanels such as 'ILITEK' touchpanels register as two inputs in xinput, and require the touchscreen device to bee specified in chromium when opened. Despite selecting the right input device for non 'ILITEK' touchscreens, this action results in the touchscreen not functioning as described in this case.

Next Steps: The code will need to be updated to ignore and not add any touch device args for chromium, in cases where touch devices are present that do not register as 2 inputs.
