Rpi-ft5406 touchscreen not working in electron app

Thanks for the answers.
From dmesg (for the benefit of anyone else reading this), these two lines seem to be of interest:

[    9.221333] rpi-ft5406 rpi_ft5406: Probing device
[    9.228669] input: FT5406 memory based driver as /devices/virtual/input/input0

And from lsmod:

Module                  Size  Used by
rpi_ft5406             16384  0

I wonder if anything in following thread would apply and be helpful here, including some of the debugging methods, like using xinput:

Get Touchscreen eGalaxy Touch working

Let’s summarize: Remove the ft5406 overlay as the device is supported by default. You need an X driver which connects the input devices to the X server - the opensource one works just fine for your device (xserver-xorg-input-evdev). You can use xinput (you can install it as well) to see if X can detect your input device. As soon as the X driver was install (and after X restart) you can see that X can detect the input device: root@raspberry-pi2-cfcd83d:/# DISPLAY=:0 xinput ⎡ Virtual core poin…

Given that dmesg showed that /devices/virtual/input/input0 “is there”, it would be interesting to somehow find out whether touch events are being produced and could be “read” somehow, just not being captured at a higher level.
