[GUIDE] Official Raspberry Touch Display 2

Hello everyone,

I’ve once again encountered issues during reboots where I lost access to the touchscreen function. To address this problem, I’m now using a service that resets the touchscreen function at startup. Here is the file that performs the reset:

reset-touch.sh

#!/bin/bash
# Reset script for the Official Raspberry Pi Touch Display v2 (goodix_ts driver)

TRIES=3
for i in $(seq 1 $TRIES); do
    echo "Attempt $i: resetting goodix_ts module..."
    modprobe -r goodix_ts
    sleep 1
    modprobe goodix_ts && exit 0
    sleep 2
done

echo "⚠️ Failed to reset touchscreen after $TRIES attempts."
exit 1

Here is the service that uses this file:

[Unit]
Description=Reset touchscreen for Raspberry Pi Official Touch Display (goodix_ts)
After=multi-user.target

[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/reset-touch.sh
RemainAfterExit=yes

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Here is the script that put in place the service :

reset-touch.service

#!/bin/bash
# Installation script for touchscreen reset service (goodix_ts)
# Run after every Volumio installation or update

set -e
echo "=== Installing touchscreen reset service (goodix_ts) ==="

# Copy script to /usr/local/bin
sudo cp reset-touch.sh /usr/local/bin/reset-touch.sh
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/reset-touch.sh

# Copy systemd service
sudo cp reset-touch.service /etc/systemd/system/reset-touch.service

# Enable and start service
sudo systemctl daemon-reexec
sudo systemctl enable reset-touch.service
sudo systemctl start reset-touch.service

echo "✅ Installation complete. Touchscreen will be reset automatically on every boot."

To put them into the system here is the associated script :

install.sh

#!/bin/bash
# Installation script for touchscreen reset service (goodix_ts)
# Run after every Volumio installation or update

set -e
echo "=== Installing touchscreen reset service (goodix_ts) ==="

# Copy script to /usr/local/bin
sudo cp reset-touch.sh /usr/local/bin/reset-touch.sh
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/reset-touch.sh

# Copy systemd service
sudo cp reset-touch.service /etc/systemd/system/reset-touch.service

# Enable and start service
sudo systemctl daemon-reexec
sudo systemctl enable reset-touch.service
sudo systemctl start reset-touch.service

echo "✅ Installation complete. Touchscreen will be reset automatically on every boot."

If it can be usefull. I should mention that I’m not a developer, so I set this up just using my limited skills.

Regards
