Per Edatec support after the following changes lightdm starts:

removed /etc/udev/rules.d/99-uinput.rules and modified /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-touchinput.conf

user@lysmarine:~ $ cat /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-touchinput.conf
Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "calibration"
    Driver "evdev"
    MatchProduct "4-0014 Goodix Capacitive TouchScreen gt911 Synopsys DesignWare I2C adapter"
    MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
    Option "EmulateThirdButton" "1"
    Option "EmulateThirdButtonTimeout" "750"

Rotating DSI display discussion

best way to tell X that the desktop should be rotated is via

xrandr --output DSI-1 --rotate left

or similar

Regarding screen rotation on Edatec

Look for CalibrationMatrix

Edatec support was able to solve all issues with their touchscreen on BBN OS:

Hi Mikhail,

I've solved the problem of twofing not working.

It needs to modify “/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-touchinput.conf”

Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "calibration"
    Driver "evdev"
    MatchProduct "Goodix Capacitive TouchScreen"
    MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
    Option "EmulateThirdButton" "1"
    Option "EmulateThirdButtonTimeout" "750"
    Option "EmulateThirdButtonMoveThreshold" "30"
    Option "Calibration" "0 1280 0 800"
    Option "SwapAxes" "1"
    Option "Inversion" "1 0"
