Greetings,
I'm looking for some touchscreen suggestions/options. (Yes, I've searched the forums)
I'm looking for info on what kind work well and how to set them up. Are there touch screen remotes that can used in some form?
I've also seen posts on using windows and running the orbiter on there. Does that work well?
All suggestions and info welcome.
Thank you.

As well as the forum, the wiki is also a good source of info. Hari has covered most of them from the WIKI. I use one of these: http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/XDAIIiI found this very easy to set up. I had only been using the system and Linux a few hours when I added it. |

I thought I read somewhere that UI2 didn't work with any touchscreens. Is this still the case?

If you would like to try your luck in HA Designer you might be able to get it to work though...  Cheers, WR |

UI2's mechanics are NOT designed for touch screen, and are awkward to use on a touch screen.

Nope. ok, that explains.. best regards, Hari Not sure I quite understand, but just to clarify - when I say I "Agree that UI2 via touchscreen could be useful" I am thinking about scenarios such as; * Having an MD Touch screen in the kitchen, where you wouldn't want multiple input devices. This would make for no fuss access method at the same time as giving you access to the web browser and media... Anyway - Realise this isn't possible currently and I don't even have a touch screen device to use - I had just read that other thread before and figured it may be of use. Cheers, WR. |

Good question - actually probably nothing. I am so used to UI1 on my Nokia n810 that I was thinking you couldn't view video/media or use the web browser (i.e it was essentially just an orbiter). My bad  |
