Post#1 by Hangetsu » 01 Jul 2015, 12:21

Good day,

Tried to install Porteus Kiosk 3.4.0 to kiosk with с Philips Touch LCD monitor BDT3215EM.
Automaticaly system detected it as simple monitor, nor touch monitor.
Tried to add additional module with monitor drivers to instalation iso (by manual, to xzm folder, converted to xzm file) - system said - usuported module.
Is it possible to do anything?

For the reference: we have got PQLabs touchscreen driver working.
Unfortunately it must be calibrated under any fully fledged OS (like Ubuntu) as it oddly requires Adobe Air for calibration and i could not get it to work in kiosk.

Second thing:
usb_pqlabs driver must be compiled against certain kernel version so 'custom kiosk builds' service is recommended unless you want to compile the kernel yourself.
Please add [Solved] to your thread title if the solution was found.

I have made adobe-air module - it requires modified dpkg package (/var/lib/dpkg/available + /var/lib/dpkg/status) - both available here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/7elwcgmk5mwtmme/FmFMsdUIO8
flashplayer in adobe-air could be linked to newer flashplayer. It works for Porteus Desktop, so should work also for Kiosk.
You have mind and feelings. Be wise and clever.

"It works for Porteus Desktop, so should work also for Kiosk."
thank you tome but kiosk ISO is 40 MB comparing to almost 200MB for Desktop and Adobe Air does not run there out of the box. must be missing utility/library which i'm not going to track (low benefit).
calibration data is the same across OSes so its ok for the users to use Ubuntu or Porteus Desktop for this task.
