What wiki ?
I know that, for touchscreen testing the main menu of mythtv is good. On 
the screen it's big enough.

For one moment I got the pad working and enter key, but I couldn't 
repeat the situation. The box was for a long time not used and "kind of" 
power save mode, after I pressed the remote pad it started to blink on 
screen and enter key was working. But as I said, couldn't repeat the event.
