I've got an old IBM POS that I scavenged from a junk heap, sadly there is not linux support for its touchscreen (that I have been able to find) as I always thought it would make a great dumb terminal (10" LCD, 486 100Mhz, built in LAN).
I also have an ELO LCD touchscreen (elotouch.com), it does work fine in X with their (X) linux driver (you just configure an extra mouse). It takes a serial port and is a rather nice display. I maybe mistaken, but I believe only the serial version of this monitor is supported by linux. I am currently using it attached to my dual xeon linux server, but because of it is really just a fancy monitor I guess it doesn't really fit your needs. >From my experience all of the POS machines out there are just standard PC's with a bunch of extra serial ports... -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Scotty Fitzgerald Sent: Tuesday, December 07, 2004 8:57 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Nightstand Terminal I would like to experiment with making a small terminal that would fit on my nightstand. I think those little POS 10.2" monitors you see at the checkout lines in supermarkets are a possibility. Does anybody have experience with this sort of thing? --- Scotty -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
