But I can't run these commands because I don't know the root password. I can say that on boot with my LCD7, there is really no difference with the Angstrom version. When the calibrate routine comes up at boot, I can click the first target with finger or stylus, but when the second comes up, the only way it will click is if I touch about half an inch to the left. Only once have I managed to click the third target. Usually I get a misclick message and it starts over. If I let it time out, it moves on. If I then touch the screen, the mouse pointer starts shaking. I do have a mouse connected, and eventually this build gives me mouse control back, which is better than the Angstrom build where I had to press reset to get it to stop. This is my first week with this board, and while I'm a long time Linux user, and long time software developer, I am a brand new Linux software developer, so I'm still in the steep portion of the learning curve. I'm following Malloy's guides mostly, in a VirtualBox VM so I can move my dev image around between work and home. > Does your wifi adapter work?

My eventual goal is to strip this down to a non X system running QT embedded apps on the framebuffer for an embedded kiosk style system. Most of my peripherals are either USB or serial, so my "cape" will be more like a USB hub than anything else, combining LCD interface and power supplies with the hub electronics and USB to serial chips all on the same board. Around four discrete GPIO inputs and a 4x4 matrix keyboard are about it for other I/O, so I don't anticipate this being terribly difficult. I'm hoping that the USB serial ports will always come up in the same /dev/ttyXXX locations (may have to learn udev for that) but that shouldn't be much different than desktop linux. I really don't see the need for X and a full desktop for this. Wired Ethernet and WLAN (USB) 3G cell modem support will be needed, but not WiFi (using that now just because there is no cable to my kitchen table).
