Looking for touch screen monitors with drivers for CGA apps

Looking for touch screen monitors with drivers for CGA apps

Post by Arun Kha » Thu, 06 Jul 2000 04:00:00



I have an application, runs under SCO Openserver 5.x platform.  It is
"curses" based and uses CGA  style boxes to display menus.   The
application works with keyboard input as well  Microtouch touch screen
monitors.    Microtouch has drivers that support CGA.

I am evaluating a port of this app to Linux.  However, Microtouch (and
ELO Touch)  do not provide any drivers that work in CGA mode;  their
respective web sites point to the XFree86 drivers for the X Windows
environment.

If you know of any touch screen product that has drivers for the CGA
mode please let me know.  I would appreciate it very much.

Thanks for your time.
