Volumio and Waveshare 1024x600 touch screen issue

From the information I gather from Waveshare it seems the screens needs evdev. Maybe you need to run

sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-evdev

and after that

sudo cp -rf /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/45-evdev.conf
