Unable echo a device in /dev on Ubuntu 18.10
I am trying to echo an LCD screen attached to my system to confirm the device functions correctly. I am running Ubuntu 18.10.
This is the device as per the contents of /var/log/Xorg.0.log:

I am unsure from the last few lines whether the device is functioning correctly (even though it appears to be from using a stylus on it).
To confirm I have tried:
echo "TESTING TESTING TESTING" > /dev/input/event4
However nothing appears on the LCD when I do so. Am I using the correct method to print something to the screen? Does the log all look ok?
This is part of a larger issue I have of trying to get LCDPROC to render on said LCD.
Thanks
