PiTFT capacitive touchscreen problems

SDL Development
1

I’m just starting investigation why PiTFT capacitive touchscreen used to work with libsdl-1.2.15-5, but doesn’t work with anything newer including libsdl2. Actually it works, but gives crazy jumping results. Please share any info you might have - I’m starting completely from scratch.
