Re: Inspiration required for Touchscreen

How much? :-)

I did try powerstrip, installed it, played around could find no way of
setting the variable resolution for the intel. So... read the
faqs/forum and discovered that only the more recent 'proper' cards
have this feature :-((

So went another few hours spent on fruitless tweeking in pursuit of
the perfect setup!
