I am starting to look into the development of a touch screen application under Linux. It would be text based. I am posting the list to see if anyone has already done it!!

There is an X-server which has already the touch screen caps. you prob. need: Metro-X Technically it's not better than XFree86, but has some features like touchscreen and a more easy setup. It's included on RedHat and Caldera OL 1.1 - somewhere else ?...

Would GPM the console mouse driver be a good place to start?? The touch screen input would come in via a serial port.
