/>&gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt;<br />&gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt; Very nice. I've tried
MythTV on a touchscreen for in-home use<br />&gt;&gt; (mostly<br
/>&gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt; music, weather and news). One thing I could not
easily get around<br />&gt;&gt; is<br />&gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt; issuing a
&quot;back&quot; or &quot;esc&quot; to Myth to move out of some
programs<br />&gt;&gt; (e.g.,<br />&gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt; mythmusic). I
finally had to activate the telnet control of Myth<br />&gt;&gt; and<br
/>&gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt; create a small Kpanel applet that would allow me
to issue an &quot;esc&quot;<br />&gt;&gt; to<br />&gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt;
myth via the telnet interface (this also means you have to run Myth<br
/>&gt;&gt; in<br />&gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt; a window rather than
full-screen). Have you come up with another<br />&gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt;
means or do you simply use the keyboard?<br />&gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt;<br

Well I have updated everything and I'm showing it off<br />&gt;&gt;

&gt;&gt;<br />&gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; The touchscreen and opengl
transitions are especially nice<br />&gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; additions...<br
/>&gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt;&gt;<br />&gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; Couldn't have
done it without the great work done on Myth, thanks<br />&gt;&gt; &gt;&gt;
&gt;&gt; everybody!<br />&gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; George,<br />&gt;&gt; &gt;&gt;
When I first started on the carpc, myth .18 was the latest/greatest.<br
/>&gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; This<br />&gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; meant no touchscreen
support at all. This is why I fabricated the<br />&gt;&gt; &gt;&gt;
control<br />&gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; panel next to my shifter. It registers to
the system as a USB<br />&gt;&gt; keyboard.<br />&gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; See<br
/>&gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; the archived photos:<br />&gt;&gt; &gt;&gt;<br
/>&gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; https://www.timekiller.org/carpc/archive.php<br
/>&gt;&gt; &gt;&gt;<br />&gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; It works, and I was able to
make it look factory, but ultimately I'd<br />&gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; like to<br
/>&gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; do away with it and be 100% touchscreen controlled.
Obviously there<br />&gt;&gt; is<br />&gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; plenty of work
that needs to be done before that happens.<br />&gt;&gt; &gt;&gt;<br
/>&gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; Anyone know the status of mouse control in Myth ? Is
there a plan to<br />&gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; make it<br />&gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; 100%
mouse-only compatible ?<br />&gt;&gt; &gt;<br />&gt;&gt; &gt; there is
gesture support, though it would seem to make touchscreen<br />&gt;&gt;
&gt; really useful a new theme would be needed that provided navigation<br
/>&gt;&gt; &gt; buttons that could be clicked to move forward and back (if
this is<br />&gt;&gt; &gt; even possible in a theme?).<br />&gt;&gt; I am
aware of, and use gesture control to navigate the menus, but it<br
/>&gt;&gt; does<br />&gt;&gt; not work to, for example, exit mythmusic. In
fact, to my knowledge,<br />&gt;&gt; there is<br />&gt;&gt; no mouse
support in myhmusic whatsoever, so with mythvideo, etc.<br />&gt;&gt;<br
/>&gt;&gt; The menu system itself supports the mouse/gestures, but you're
on your<br />&gt;&gt; own<br />&gt;&gt; once you are in a plugin.<br
/>&gt;&gt;<br />&gt;&gt;<br />From my understanding, this can not be
controlled through a theme, it<br />&gt;&gt; would<br />&gt;&gt; require
patching the plugins themselves. I have a friend who start to<br
/>&gt;&gt; work<br />&gt;&gt; on this once, but gave up. Oh what I would
give to be a QT developer :)<br />&gt;&gt;<br />&gt;&gt; Hopefully this is
on the Myth to-do list.<br />&gt; <br />&gt; are the gestures defined in
the theme or elsewhere? I also just<br />&gt; thought, if there is no way
to directly call a button in a theme, one<br />&gt; could call a script to
call a telnet command to Myth so that you could<br />&gt; create
navigation buttons in the theme. This would at least get things<br />&gt;
working, though for your CarPC I can see why gestures would be better<br
/>&gt; than navigation buttons.<br />&gt; <br />&gt; I'll probably create
a modified theme for my mom's touchscreen with<br />&gt; navigation
buttons since it will be a larger screen and she'll be<br />&gt; close to
it when using the touchscreen.<br />&gt; <br />&gt; anyone know of a list
of touchscreen LCDs that work in linux?<br />&gt; <br />&gt; --<br />&gt;
