Hi Murray, This will most definitely work with the BeagleBoard: http://elinux.org/Xenarc_USB_touchscreen_for_Beagleboard/OMAP3_EVM We've got one of those in the office working with a BeagleBoard. It has DVI input (you'll need a HDMI-to-DVI converter) and a separate USB connection for the touchscreen. It's not cheap though. A minor annoyance - particularly if you are in a hurry - is that Xenarc will not take foreign (as in non-US) credit cards so you need to wire them the money before they ship. Nevertheless I found their customer service responsive and professional (in dealing with the order). They shipped it quickly and it came in good shape.
