Hi there,
I am planning on installing porteus kiosk on a mini pc and buy a touchscreen like this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Capacitive-800% ... 160%2C160_
Can you tell me if porteus supports such setup? Will the touch screen work or not? Is the resolution of the touchscreen an issue?
Can this work?

Hello Nick,
If the manufacturer of the product mainlined the drivers (they are present in the linux kernel already) then this touchscreen will work out of the box with Porteus Kiosk.
If the manufacturer has 'out of the kernel' drivers then custom build may be necessary for integrating them with the ISO:

From the link provided i see that touchscreen is compatible with Lubuntu and Rasbian so there is a chance that everything will work ootb. Calibration may be needed but since version 3.5.0 you can do it through the wizard yourself.
Thank you.

Hi There,
It seems that the LCD is displaying everything ok, but the touch is not working.
Is there any way i can fix this myself?

Please generate system report in the wizard -> locate touch controller name -> search Google how to get this controller working under Linux.
This is what i would do myself.

Either i don't know what to look for or there is no touch controller name in the report.
All i can find related to the touch is: RPI_Touch
