Now that we have USB2VGA adapter support, has anyone tried an XO with
an interactive whiteboard? These things are in every classroom here in
Australia.
I understand that there are different models that each work
differently, and their proprietary nature makes compatibility even
more difficult. I've had some success in the past using a normal
laptop and Sugar on a Stick, but because we didn't have the
manufacturer's software we couldn't calibrate the input to the
display.
I seem to remember Fedora has tools for communicating and calibrating
at least one type of interactive whiteboard and as a result for those
models it would be a matter of adding the appropriate packages into
the builds. Doing a quick google it seems that quite a few of the
IWB's do have various support for Linux including Fedora so support
would be possible without too much problem and in this case its likely
best for the local teams to add appropriate support into their local
builds.
Of course a list of models that the schools use in Australia would
help making recommendations as to the best route to support.
