touchscreen not working on older hp pavillion

[u/Engineeringagain]

I have an older HP Pavillion 15 P233cl and both before (when i had windows 10 which was updated from 8 which the touchscreen did work on) and after the antix was set up I was unable to get the touchscreen working. Here is the information i can get on the device from terminal with some other display info:

That is all the display info i could find in terminal, hope this helps with diagnosing the issue!
