Hi
Thanks for the reply.
Yes I have tried contacting the manufacturers however one is a hardware 
only provider (4D) for the Capes (they fully support their other stuff), 
and the other one (CircuitCo) which 4D Cares are based on according to 
their datasheet, doesn't seem to support software and points us here, or 
simply doesn't reply to emails. I'm not the first person to mention this 
about CircuitCo by the way. At least 4D do reply and tried to help, but 
they cant support the software.

Sorry if I sounded demanding, just frustrated more than anything.

Fully understand the community is made up of people who do this for no 
money etc, however who is actually responsible for open source software, I 
dont know. No one person I assume, and therefore no place for me to find 
answers? This is the only place I know to raise it.

In terms of fixing stuff myself. I wouldnt know where to start. I purchased 
the hardware thinking/hoping that the standard software provided would work 
correctly. In most cases it is fine, but when dealing with a touch screen 
that doesnt touch due to software, its kinda frustrating. That said it 
works fine on Android so it proves the hardware is OK, so CircuitCo and 4D 
get off the hook in that respect as the hardware is fine, its just the 
software seems to need some improvements.

I guess all I wanted to hear was what you said, that things are being 
looked at by someone, and their should be fixes coming out soon. Question 
though, where does the average Joe Bloggs who came in to the BBB from 
nothing, has no idea about linux and how everything works, find out what is 
being worked on so a silly Joe Bloggs like me doesnt make a rant post to 
try and figure out where they stand...?

So is Angstrom Dead, or is that rumor false?
This new 3.12 you mention, I assume that is the kernel. Is a new Angstrom 
being built based on that? 
I believe Debian, Ubuntu and Angstrom, no doubt more, have the same touch 
issues, which is I gather based on the kernel having a problem (3.8?).

I'm a linux noob if you haven't guessed.

Thanks
Terry
