The resolution is a unique "WSVGA" aspect ratio. While 1280x720 (720p) is common for video, 1024x600 remains the king of the 7-inch and 9-inch display market for several reasons:
Goodix drivers are mainlined in the Linux kernel. For devices running Raspberry Pi OS, Ubuntu Core, or Buildroot, the driver is often already present under drivers/input/touchscreen/goodix.c . Simply enabling the Device Tree Overlay for the GT9xx on I2C bus brings the touchscreen to life.
config TOUCHSCREEN_GT9XX tristate "GT9XX I2C touchscreen" depends on I2C help Say Y here if you have the GT9XX touchscreen connected to your system. If unsure, say N. To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called gt9xx. gt9xx1024x600
The touch panel’s physical sensor matches the 1024x600 LCD active area.

Supports up to 5 or 10 simultaneous touch points depending on the specific chip variant.
Yes! The GT9xx driver has been verified to work on the Raspberry Pi, including support for features like HotKnot.
GT9xx self-calibrates at boot. However, if edges are inaccurate:
