If there is a touchscreen then that is connected to something else entirely. It's also quite a limited graphics driver - it'll do mode setting and very fast text mode console but has no 2D/3D acceleration support included because Imagination always kept the 3D acceleration info secret and the 2D acceleration wasn't worth supporting. > Is this anything doable[2] in the current state of the kernel?

Given the platform I would guess its either using the mouse port or a serial port. I don't remember any built in i2c/spi controller on that chipset anyway. If it's on the ps/2 port it might work, if it's on the serial port you are going to have to reverse engineer the protocol. Alan
