Touch screen support

[shariq_2001]

Hi

Is there any update on touch screen support for Linux? Any eta on when the touch/lcd screen will be functional with Linux?

Any info is appreciated.

Thanks

At this point in time the touch screen LCD is not supported in the gnu+linux images we provide for the PineA64.  The devs all have their own LCD displays; this is good news, because now everyone interested in working on this has their own hardware for testing. At this point in time not much progress has been made, and I anticipate that it will be quite some time ( for legal, technical, and political reasons ) before this is ready for beta testing.  If you need ( or want ) to use the LCD touch screen, you must use the Android image at this time.

Hi Mark,

Thanks for the info. Do you or anyone else know of a good touch screen that may be compatible with pine64 at this time for Linux environment. Any suggestions? 

Basically I have a project where I'd really like to use the pine64. But the must have feature is the touch screen. The product is perfect specs wise but any feedback or recommendation as to other touch solutions I could work with temporarily to demo the solution would be appreciated.

Thanks.
