But with the advent of tablets abd smartphones - there maybe other alternatives now. We have used the Raspberry Pi at work - it's a gr3at device!

Did you end up getting it all running?I have everything working except the touch overlay, but I suspect I have a faulty controller. 1

Spyathe Legacy Donating Member 872 Member For: 12y 10m 21d Gender: Male Posted 27/01/15 08:27 AM Posted 27/01/15 08:27 AM I am running the latest wheezy OS with XBMC and navit from a guy called Andrei Istodorescu, the touch screen support has all been setup in the kernel.I am getting some input via touchscreen but only in the top left corner of the screen. XBMC (Kodi) has a calibration plugin but it doesn't seem to help

I tried it but it was laggy and very buggy. Light weight linux with the applications you want is going to work better in the long run 1
