I don't remember if I have asked this before, but..... Question 1: Has anyone tried to install a touch screen in Ubuntu or any other flavor of linux for that matter?
I have an Elo Accutouch 2210, card reader, bar code scanner, cash drawer, and customer display. One minor problem... the touch screen is on com1 and not on usb. The pre-compiled drivers I have found for Ubuntu are USB in nature and restricted to the 2.4-2.6 kernel series. I installed Ubuntu 8.10 before paying attention to this.. The drivers have been tested on 8.04. I don't know if they will work on 8.10. (Don't worry Robert... I'll test that sudo init 1 before installing 8.04 over 8.10). Question 2: Shouldn't drivers that work for 8.04 also work for 8.10? And why not? As it is now under XP Pro, old POS (Point of Sales---er, um---cash register) was deleted, SQL server is screwed up and I have never been able to fix a corrupted version or delete it from XP. I found OpenBravo a POS for Linux/Mac/Windows that actually looks functional. It installed under windows no problem but won't boot because XP has too old a version of Java. I plan on downloading the latest version for XP ASAP to see if that helps. OpenBravo has its own database program, but accepts several different SQL types and can be linked to other POS sites (say 4 or 50 different cash registers of this type). Okay. I see this isn't as simple as I thought... If anyone knows anything I'd appreciate hearing from you. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Central West End Linux Users Group (via Google Groups) Main page: http://www.cwelug.org To post: [email protected] To subscribe: [email protected] To unsubscribe: [email protected] More options: http://groups.google.com/group/cwelug -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
