The screen is 480 x 272, which is pretty small, but i guess touchy could 
probably work on that.
But, of course, the main problem is there is STILL no RTAI port for the 
Beagle or other OMAP
CPUs.  There is an rt-Linux port that was done by some French guys, but 
there was some question
about whether EMC2 still supports the rt_Linux version of the RT 
interface, it apparently hasn't been
tested in a number of years.  If somebody wanted to test that on the X86 
platform, it shouldn't
be more than a weekend project to see if it compiles and runs in that 
environment.  If it does, then
it ought to port to the Beagle, up to the point of not having a parallel 
port.  I have the fix for that,
but would need to write a little driver to replace hal's parport.c for 
the Beagle pinout.
