I'm looking at trying to build a homebrew version of a dedicated controller
with an integrated keyboard, MPG, and touchscreen. On the touchscreens, I've
been looking at some of the 7-8" units originally made for in-dash DVD
players, Lilliput seems to be a common name for the hardware and I've read
about touchkit as being the main driver for using these 4/5-wire
resistive-interface screens with Ubuntu. There seems to be a choice of
serial and USB interfaces.

Before I go out and buy a bunch of hardware that doesn't play well, does
anyone have any words of wisdom on what I should or shouldn't look at? For
reference, this is the sort of unit I'm thinking about:

* And yes, I realize a 7" screen will have lower resolution than my iPhone
4... I'm looking to build a panel with illuminated modal switches and
generally see about moving some stuff off the screen.
