Touchscreen support in XBMC - Control everything in GUI via one finger touch/click(s)

hi gamester

i've tried some things with my touchscreen and the new mouse support in xbmc...

at the moment, i won't recognize my touchscreen :-(

i think it is a bigger problem than i thought before, because the xdk doesn't know a touchscreen. so i'm not sure, if i can get a device handle for a device, which is not supported like debug_mouse...

can you help me in this case?

i'll try some things with the debugmouse sample app... hope i can made some progress

the problem is, that my touchscreen display is mounted in my car with one of my xboxes ;-)
... so i haven't it at home all the time to test things :-(

but as written before, i would be very happy, if someone can help me with getting a device handle for a device no supported by the xdk...

thanks in advance

i can't help you, because i'm not a c++ programmer.

in any case if a dev codes a "thouchscreen support" patch for xbmc don't count on iyour specific thouchscreen to work on it as most thouchscreen manufactures use propriotory (unique and closed source) drivers. that's why you want one that use standard hid usb drivers.

hi guys,

it is true what xbender says about touchscreen support in the xdk. the only way one can get it to work is to patch the xapilib to recognise the device, or to write the driver yourself. on http://www.xbdev.org there is a good explanation about writing the driver yourself, but somehow i can't get the gamepad to work (the program just crashes). therefor i left the path of trying to get the touchscreen to work inside the xdk and proceeded with linux. it already has driver support for my touchscreen (lilliput). but i'm still looking for a suitable media environment (thexcar looks good, but is still in early development).

i would really like usb touchscreen support for my 7"lcd - then i could get rid of my incar pc and put in my xbox!

does anyone know if xbmc has touch screen support? if so does it support all touch screens?

and if not does anyone know if this feature is planned or comming soon?

there are plenty of touch screen lcd's that work with vga or rca that has usb connector to control the touch capabilities.

thanx in advance guys.

or you can email me at:

the only touchscreens that xbmc will support at the moment are ones that use generic usb mouse drivers. other than that, no. and i haven't been able to find a touchscreen like that.

is there yet support for touchscreens??
i am thinking that since there is mouse support, and vga adapters such as x2vga there is a chance that it could work... but i am assuming that xbmc would have to have drivers for the touchsreen... altho i might be wrong... please someone enlighten me.

thanks...

i know that i read it would be possible to get a touch screen to work if there were and usb hid driver out for one. i found this link and the code for the driver on it. with this information do you think that we can get someone to make this touch screen work? http://lwn.net/articles/83081/

hello... ok dont know if this is possible. but i want to buy a lilliput touchscreen and connect it to my modded xbox. the touchscreen has a usb cord to send the signals. it works like a usb mouse, but i dont know if it would work... if it doesnt, is it possible to write xbox hardware drivers so that it would work? even something simple like just figuring out what signals correspond to what x and y values. but i dont know how the xbmc nav system works, so i dont even know if that idea is possible... any thoughts at all are appreciated

wow this was a very informative forum at least i searched for 'touch screen' in the forums before i posted anything :shifty:
for what it's worth: "i would love to see touch screen support too !"
