I'm interested in using touchscreen monitors with Sunrays. In searching
this mailing list, I found a couple references to ELO and Trident
touchscreens. However, it wasn't exactly clear what hardware was used
and how it was implemented. Additionally, the thread was over a year
old, so I'm wondering if any progress has been made in this area since then.
Does anyone know of a specific make/model of touchscreen that is known
to work with SRSS4? Are there any details on how to go about setting it
up? I would prefer to use Solaris since we will be using kiosk mode, but
I can make due with Linux if needed. An integrated monitor+touchscreen
for use with the Sunray2 is the primary concern, however there is also
an interest in using touchscreens (integrated or addon) with 3rd party
Sunray laptops and/or tablet devices.
Any information or advice will be greatly appreciated.
At work we've had two different touch screens working, both with the
Trident driver for Solaris x86. Either using serial connector plus a
Quatech serial-to-usb converter, or directly through USB. The driver
consists of a part that uses a device node (in case of serial) or a FIFO
(in case of USB). In the latter there is a second part using libusb,
and also working with this FIFO.
The best thing to do is mail Trident and ask for a demo/trial. We had
some problems at first due to the wrong driver being sent (a few times),
so just stress out your OS, architecture, the use of USB, etc. to reduce
the time it takes to obtain the right one :p Other than that they're
usually fast on replying and very helpful. The driver itself is not
free, but i don't think there is any other driver around that works.
