I submitted a merge request to #AlpineLinux aports to get #TouchpadEmulator added. This program allows touchscreen devices to control a mouse cursor for easier use with desktop-oriented user interfaces. Merge request here:
https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/merge_requests/82061
Testers on #postmarketOS welcome, you can test with:
sudo mrtest add -a 82061
also add yourself to input group to avoid the password prompt. You can also set it to autostart with LaunchTouchpadEmulator.sh --autostart
