Hi John If I knew how to do that, I would be very happy indeed. I have tried Debian, Ubuntu, Angstrom, Android 4.2.2, potentially other distros too that had images available for the BBB, and all that I tried had the same touch issue except Android which works for both the TI 3.2 Kernel version, and I believe is ok for Andrew Hendersons 3.8 Kernel version too...
Can you point me to how I can use Debian or Ubuntu, or even Angstrom if that is easier... using an old Kernel, that has working LCD Cape software for both display and touhscreen. This would make a huge number of people happy. This is one of those things that a person from the 'outside' has no idea about... That an old kernel can be used with an existing version of an OS etc. I was not actually aware that old versions of the kernel didnt have the problem, as I have only used versions of Angstrom which were released on the normal BBB 'Update' page, that stated compatibility with the LCD4 and LCD7. If I could be pointed to either images that worked for the LCD4 and LCD7, or some kind of instructions on how something is to be built, that would most certainly help and put my ranting to ease, so I can at least start with some working platform and learn from there. I appreciate it. Regards Terry On Tuesday, 31 December 2013 17:44:35 UTC+13, John Syne wrote: > > > Actually, you could always use the v3.2 kernel where everything works just > fine.
