The PC I'm working on is a cash register terminal built by Ultimate Technology Corporation. The touch screen says "Reliatouch" on it. I want to get the touch screen working in Linux, but I'm not even sure where to start. I am in the process of installing 4.3.1 on a Pentium MMX w/ 128MB RAM computer. This computer is a purpose built terminal for a Point Of Sale (POS) system. The screen is an 800x600 LCD with a touch screen. One of the 2 units has Win98 installed and the touch screen works (the other unit's drive is faulty and doesn't boot). To install Puppy I had to open the box up (connect a CDROM). The touch screen has 5 wires connected to a daughter board that drives a floppy connector, cash drawer connectors, etc. The touchscreen is branded Reliatouch, however their website is still back in the 90's. I'm trying to contact them as well for information. |

I powered up the second unit - Windows 98. The touch screen driver is the UPDD from Touch-Base. Linux notes on installation are here. I have not fully read them just yet - hopefully there is a link in there to source &/| binaries. http://www.touch-base.com/documentation/LinuxPlatformNotes.htm |

Possibly getting closer. This page has the linuxupdd.tgz file I'm looking for. http://www.glaxytouch.com/download.html Downloading it now. Might not have time tonight to try and install. |

Touchscreen is a TPI Serial device communicating COM4. Sent UPDD a setup file from Win98. No response yet (just sent it today). What distro would Puppy be closest too? http://www.touch-base.com/documentation/LinuxPlatformNotes.htm |

Possibly Slackware, but it would depend how you measure the closeness... why exactly do you ask - do they provide different packages for different distros? _________________ DEATH TO SPREADSHEETS - - - Classic Puppy quotes - - - Beware the demented serfers! |

Exactly so Many Slackware packages work straight in Puppy. try Slackpup [url]http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=368841&search_id=45102854#368841[/url] or Slaxer_pup http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=295745#295745 Dpup is closer to Debian if you wish to use their packages for your project http://puppylinux.org/wikka/Dpup Hope that is helpful

So do many Debian packages and many Fedora packages, etc...
