Hi,  
i need to install a touchscreen driver for an application running on raspberrypi 3.  
Ive tried (unsuccessfull) to install it inside a container but systemd is missing. Before trying several things i just wanted to asked if someone have done this before.  
Driver is the Faytech resistive touch driver:  
[Faytech AG](https://www.eeti.com/touch_driver/Linux/20201110/eGTouch_v2.5.9321.L-ma.tar.gz)  
Thanks for your help!

Hi Henrik, I am not familiar with that particular device, but we do have some documentation and a sample repo for setting up systemd. First, here is some details in our Docs: [Balena base images - Balena Documentation](https://www.balena.io/docs/reference/base-images/base-images/#installing-your-own-initsystem)

Second, our Masterclass has some additional exercises as well: [Balena Services Masterclass - Balena Documentation](https://www.balena.io/docs/learn/more/masterclasses/services-masterclass/#5-running-systemd-in-a-service)

And finally, here is a sample repo that has an implementation that you can build upon: [GitHub - balena-io-examples/balenalib-systemd-example: Example project using systemd with balenalib images](https://github.com/balena-io-examples/balenalib-systemd-example)

Hope that helps!

> @pdcastro Hey, just want to give another update. Turns out we didn’t need the eGalaxy touchscreen drivers after all. All we needed to do was to set ENV UDEV 1, and install xserver packages: RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends \ xserver-xorg-legacy \ xserver-xorg-core \ xserver-xorg-input-all \ xserver-xorg-video-fbdev \ xserver-xorg-input-evdev \ xorg \ xinput \ x11-apps \ matchbox-window-manager \ xinit \ && rm -rf /var/l…
