I have worked with touch screens in linux at a previous job. Controllers that are Microtouch and ELO based are well supported. These have either a serial or USB interface. Here is how to set them up. http://tldp.org/HOWTO/XFree86-Touch-Screen-HOWTO.html#toc6
As for getting a hold of a touchscreen, I would just do the usual ebay/web search. You do not like ebay, so how about this: http://www.superwarehouse.com/17_LCD_Touch_Screen_Monitors/c3/2053 Basically search the web for "Touch Screen LCD monitor" You will have a hard time finding just the touchscreen glass/controller by itself. So count on getting a new monitor with it. You have to be careful though, here is a cheap mini lcd with touchscreen: http://www.chinavasion.com/product_info.php/pName/desktop-lcd-monitor-with-touch-panel-with-vga-8inch-screen/ It states that it comes with drivers but that is no guarantee it will work under linux unless you investigate it further. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Enhanced Machine Controller (EMC)" <[email protected]> Cc: "Enhanced Machine Controller" <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, January 26, 2008 9:33 PM Subject: [Emc-users] Touch up screen device -who is mfg. > Hi > I remember that on EMC2 show was touch screen panel.
