Re: Touch screen

[Tristan Van Berkom <vantr touchtunes com>]

        I develop jukeboxes with a touchscreen
and use gtk for our UI. 


1. You're going to need to know if the current
touchscreen driver in the X source is working
for your touchscreen.

(works with elo 2210 intelitouch ... buggy
with the latest smartset controllers....
can be hacked into working .... if you need
a patch; let me know).

2. You're going to notice that gtk is
not intended for a touchscreen (I mean
the Gtk widget set). so you'll need
to write some of your own widgets.

it will run .... the look'n'feel will be weird
untill you make the nescisary changes.

Good luck,
                -Tristan
