PenMount PM1300A and Evdev Third Button Emulation

[Harry Mallon]

Hi all,

I am trying to get my PenMount PM1300A touchscreen to accept hold to right click (Evdev Third Button Emulation) on CentOS7. Kernel 3.10.0-327.18.2.el7.x86_64. xorg-x11-drv-evdev 2.9.2.

My /etc/X11/xorg.conf contains:
# Setup the touch screen
Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "PenMount Touchscreen"
    MatchVendor "PenMount"
    MatchProduct "PenMount PM1300A"
    Driver "evdev"
    Option "InvertX" "on"
    Option "InvertY" "on"
    Option "EmulateThirdButton" "on"
EndSection

I have tested with a usb mouse and I can successfully get "Button 3" working in xinput test when using a similar configuration, but not the touchscreen.

I have seen a couple of bugs like this while searching but they all seem to have expired without clearly being fixed. Are these still current?
