| 1 | Hi! |
| 2 | |
| 3 | For my Musicbox[1] project, I am looking for a way to control a mpd[2] |
| 4 | with a touchscreen. The device I have in mind is a 10,2" VGA / USB |
| 5 | touchscreen. I assume it is supported by linux. |
| 6 | |
| 7 | If I understand correctly, the touchscreen is (if used correctly) just |
| 8 | another way to control the mouse pointer. Is that right? |
| 9 | |
| 10 | Do I have to use X to use the touchscreen, or can I use it with gpm or |
| 11 | SDL? |
| 12 | |
| 13 | Does anybody know a client for mpd ([2]) that works without X an can be |
| 14 | controlled with a touchscreen? Maybe using SDL? |
| 15 | |
| 16 | If there is no client that works without X, does anybody know something |
| 17 | that will work as an onscreen-keyboard? |
