No. > > 2) I will do the developing on a Linux box, but the app may end up on > a Windows device (this depends on what my employer will ultimately > buy). Is the touchscreen handling on Windows different than that on > X-Windows? The application will function the same on both platforms. The difference will be in the device drivers. Linux will require modification of your xorg.conf file and a compatible driver for your device. Most touchscreens come with Windows drivers and associated utilities that make them easier to install and configure. I have had no problems using Elo or Microtouch touchscreens with Linux. > > Thanks, > robert > _______________________________________________ > gtk-app-devel-list mailing list > gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org > http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list > _______________________________________________ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
