Just pushed an update to my Touchpad Emulator for Linux phones running #postmarketOS. Added a udev rule and modules-load file to set up the needed devices for the `input` group. Add your user to that group and you no longer need to enter your password. This also makes it seamless to have #TouchpadEmulator autostart on login! The program allows the touchscreen surface to be used as a laptop-style touchpad mouse, making desktop apps easier to use on small screens.
