Hey,
Anybody else using touchscreens for the onscreen orbiters?
I have acquired 2 touch screens, one will go in the kitchen and i really don't want to have another remote in that room, it will get lost :P
The touch screen works..... but.... it seems that when you touch, the touch will activate a click on the current screen AND a click on the next screen that comes up next. e.g. if i'm in remote and i "touch" the home button, it will go to the home screen, but it will also go to the lights screen (what's normally the "more" button). So it clicks on the current screen AND on the next screen. i would like to adjust this behaviour, but not sure where to look.
Can anybody shed some light,
Thank you,
Richard

Looks like this is the GenericHIDInterface interfering and generating additional events, where it shouldn't be.
I need to rewrite it. It's because GenericHIDInterface grabs all the HID devices it finds, and parses events for them, regardless if there is a device template for them inside the system or not.

Just wanted to say that i succesfully built the Orbiter without the GenericHIDInterface and it's working great now.
No more dual touches or weird reactions from the touch screen.
Thanks Tschak909 for pointing this out.
The Orbiter is 28Mb, so i can't add it here, but pm me, or see if i'm in IRC to get the Orbiter binary.

Don't have a good service for downloads, but get it while you can on filebin....
Maybe one of the admin's can put this in a better place?

Your Gyration 3101 remote will not work anymore if you use this.
Kill the orbiter with killall Orbiter
Copy the download Orbiter to /usr/pluto/bin/
Orbiter will restart itself after several seconds
