I am happy with PCP as it is serving me well.
I have an instance of PCP/Jivelite with a 5-inch (I believe) screen connected via HDMI. Being at the same resolution as the rPi 7-inch touch screen (800x480) means the skins (and in my case, a modified version of CustomClock) all work (a big plus!). Mine doesn't have touch capability - I use LIRC instead. I think the HDMI-based displays with touch capability provide the touch input via USB, right? Does it simply act like a mouse? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tcutting's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17402 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103330 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
