MPX now supports multi-touch screens. A new type of event has been added and can be used from touch applications. Automatic pointer emulation allows to use any X application. And MPX enables multiple users to use the desktop simultaneously. http://wearables.unisa.edu.au/mpx/

  • wooo! this is better than MS Surfice ... !!! cool

  • That's the point. You don't need to buy giant $10,000 table when you can achieve a similar effect using a "Smartboard style" setup. Plus, this type of setup should apply to any touch surface, including tablet PCs.

    Another plus for the MPX is that it runs standard Linux applications. The Surface, as far as I'm aware of, doesn't let you customize it very much. You only get to use what comes with the Surface & that's it.

  • @florincosma Of course it's old technology, it's an old video.

  • Great job peter. I've been following your work and i think what you created deserves merit. With that said, I've been looking for a solution to using the two pointers in linux and you certainly got it done. But, is there any way to keep both pointers active meaning the fist pointer always stays on the screen but the following pointers go away until the mouse moves again. If you could help me with this that would be greatly appretiated. Once again, Great job Petter!!

  • What is this touchscreen? Where can I find this?

  • @thierryvdb

    Surface doesn't do keyboards and foci.

    It seems to also need modified OS, hardware, and programs.

    Btw I thought it needed fvwm
