Touchscreen and Gentoox..

Post by chrisb »

Hi..

Im pretty n00b in this Linux world, but I got a Xbox server up and running.. :D

But my new project is to get a Xbox to run in my car..
Gentoox MCE is my first try, or maybe home.

Now I want to get my 7" touch screen to work, if its possible.
Can I use any of these drivers?

And If, how??

I hope some one can help..

I am interested in this also. I plan on running my XBOX in my truck as the media device and would enjoy the ease of a touch screen.

hi,

sorry I'm a noob in the linux word, and french (so sorry for my english...)

I'm also trying to connect a eGalax touchscreen in my gentoox home V4...

but in order to, I must activate the device drivers support for my touchscreen in the kernel and I don't know can I make that...

do I need to upgrade the kernel in 2.6 instead of 2.4? and how can I keep all the previous settings of the kernel 2.4 and just update it?

I found informations on http://linux.chapter7.ch/touchkit but I don't want to do something stupid with the kernel compilation.

Thanks.
