Ok. too early to tell if any bug reports are necessary however I cannot get 2.4 to start with touchy selected for the display interface. Initially I was having a problem with the original configurations causing an RTAI error which went away when I generated a new configuration from scratch using stepconf.
Now when I try to start it with touchy I get the following error in the Debug File Information section of the error log: Can not find -sec EMC -var NML_FILE -num 1 I am not sure what to do next. It does run with axis for the user interface.
