RE: Nightstand Terminal
I've got an old IBM POS that I scavenged from a junk heap, sadly there
is not linux support for its touchscreen (that I have been able to find)
as I always thought it would make a great dumb terminal (10" LCD, 486
100Mhz, built in LAN).
I also have an ELO LCD touchscreen (elotouch.com), it does work fine in
X with their (X) linux driver (you just configure an extra mouse). It
takes a serial port and is a rather nice display. I maybe mistaken, but
I believe only the serial version of this monitor is supported by linux.
I am currently using it attached to my dual xeon linux server, but
because of it is really just a fancy monitor I guess it doesn't really
fit your needs.
>From my experience all of the POS machines out there are just standard
PC's with a bunch of extra serial ports...

Subject: Nightstand Terminal
I would like to experiment with making a small terminal that
would fit on my nightstand. I think those little POS 10.2"
monitors you see at the checkout lines in supermarkets are a
possibility. Does anybody have experience with this sort of
thing?
