RE: Best touchscreen interface EVER?

["Paul Gordon" <paul@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I seem to recall seeing some device discussed here before that did
somethin=
g very similar to that...

I think it was a dedicated graphics card with 8 outputs, each of which
disp=
layed 1/8th of the screen and fed up to 8 remote
mini-touchscreen-switch-th=
ingies... - just screens though, - so no help for this device.

Anyone remember what I'm thinking of?

One of the ways around this , assuming there's a client implementation=20
is to run an RDP session ..  Then you can utilise any of the touchscreen=20
applications,  MainLobby, xLobby, HouseBot , etc and they are pretty=20
fast too.  You need to set your client resolution/screen positionining=20
carefully.    It would be nice to be able to map areas of a master=20
screen (single session) to different  clients,  avoiding a multi session=20
hack.   ISTR one of the VNC clients offered this.

I guess, unless your HA apps are web based, you're going to have trouble?
