Been using microtouch and magictouch screens here for years - Aside from 
having to write a driver for the magictouch, configuration was simple. Both 
work fine with te mini GUI. The only real downside is dirty finger prints all 
over the screens.

Would I trust the machines to emc2 - Certainly not. From the configure stage:
"checking for xgettext tcl bug... ./configure: line 9092: test: `)' expected, 
found 5" - Not fatal, xgettext isn't used and the output files still get 
generated.. During compilation:
"hal/halmodule.cc:430: error: invalid conversion from ‘int (*)(PyObject*)’ 
to ‘Py_ssize_t (*)(PyObject*)’
make: *** [objects/hal/halmodule.o] Error 1" - Fatal if `make -k` isn't used..

Running brings it's own set of problems - It would appear there is a nasty 
race condition that results in certain modules failing to unload. The only 
thing that can be done to recover is a hard reboot of the system. If you are 
lucky enough to log an oops message as the system finally goes tits up, it 
might be possible to fix.. To date, the only error I've managed to log is:
"Nov 17 11:27:38 localhost kernel: halvcp[16136]: segfault at 00002ad868280008 
rip 00002ad86531d6ca rsp 00007fff458a5d80 error 6" - I suspect this is due to 
a much more serious problem elsewhere.
