[arch-general] Some flowers & request for advice
Hello all, Over the past 3 months I've installed Arch on five different machines: an IBM R51, a Fujitsu-Siemens W360, my home machine which has no pedigree, an EEE-1000H and an today an EEE-904HA. Apart from one major panic related to the libpng14 update there have not been any significant problems, and the ones that emerged have been solved by prompt feedback on this list or by the information provided on the Wiki. Five more W360 are to follow soon. All this merits a big thanks to the developers and maintainers of Arch, and to all those who have kindly provided help. I don't think I could have had the same results (in all cases a setup *very* close to what was required) as easily from any other distro. One of my next projects will require touchscreens for a 'kiosk' type of application, and I'm still trying to find the right hardware. Any suggestions will be much appreciated (if they work with Arch of course). Ciao, -- FA O tu, che porte, correndo si ? E guerra e morte !
Hi!
One of my next projects will require touchscreens for a 'kiosk' type of application, and I'm still trying to find the right hardware. Any suggestions will be much appreciated (if they work with Arch of course).
I did a sort of kiosk application last year with an LG 1730 sf, which works (*) but required some tweaking, especially with regards to calibration. Can't remember the exact steps, right now:) * I mean, it did what it had to do, but you need to push the screen a bit too much, rendering it somehow not intuitive for the final user. So, I'm not recommending it blindly:) Ciao Dario Chiacchiera con i tuoi amici in tempo reale! http://it.yahoo.com/mail_it/foot/*http://it.messenger.yahoo.com

Laptops don't usually have a touchscreen. Ciao, -- FA O tu, che porte, correndo si ? E guerra e morte !
