Hi all, Been a while since i last posted - i just moved to sweden for work :) but i love this particular groups emails so much that i have stayed a member. Anyway i have finally had the time to walk in to a computer shop and do some window shopping. I was looking at the HP touchsmart series and then the salesman pointed me to the eee top saying but that for what i was talking about using the pc for it was a far better choice. Anyway i have to say i loved it! i had not seen one before but have an avid interest in touchscreen tech and follow the progression quite keenly. So to my question for yee of greater knowledge - what sage is the linux interface support for touchscreen/pad at? And what about support for multi touch, i know there has been a huge hype about the iphone and macbook and asus (1000he i think) multi touch laptop keypads. but realistically these are relatively simple applications on the technology - a cutting egde example is Jeff Hans works http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/jeff_han_demos_his_breakthrough_touchscreen.html. In any case multi touch relies on software that can use it as well, but i was wandering if there was a operating level support for this out there? perhaps not yet... I suppose it is a lot easier to emulate a mouse and its functions with touch tech rather then multi touch I seem to recall reading somewhere about linux and multitouch... Anyway i would appreciate your thoughts/input Dan -- Casey Stengel - "There comes a time in every man's life, and I've had plenty of them." - http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/c/casey_stengel.html -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
