Curt, The resolution is 800x480. Can I recompile the version I have installed? The install was automated, so I have no idea if I can work with that or start over.

I did some tweaks to the code years ago to work with a 640x480 touch screen I had in my Jeep. If you have that or better, it can be made to work. Look at the top of main.c. Do a search for "touch". You'll see some defines there. Uncomment those, then recompile/reinstall to activate them. -- Curt, WE7U. http://wetnet.net/~we7u APRS Client Capabilities: http://wetnet.net/~we7u/aprs_capabilities.html _______________________________________________ Xastir mailing list [email protected] http://xastir.org/mailman/listinfo/xastir
