Hi guys,
I am working at a university and on my initiative, we started using porteus kisok as our kiosk-software (previously windows 8 with some kiosk software ran totally laggy ...)
so performance is great now, but a few questions evolved:
About the master config:
- My colleague forgot to write down the device-id when installing porteus, is there a way to get the ID without reinstalling porteus?
- We don't use dhcp, can we configure the master config for each machine and asign the IP but not the dns-servers (which are the same)?
--> I think yes, we just have to use the line about the IP in the device's section and the dns-line in the master section, correct?
The trouble-stuff:
We use a touchscreen (I do not know make & model) that works over USB (and it works very smoothly :-) ) but we need it rotated (weird screen format ...), so we rotated the screen, which also works fine BUT the TOUCHSCREEN needs recalibration. I'm very sure this is possible, any quick hint for me would be great.
Sorry if any of this has been posted before (I'm pretty sure it was)
but an answer would be great.
If any information is needed be patient, I'm no longer at work now ...
best wishes,
Karanda
