Hardware Answer: Yes. Any touchscreen currently supported by X-Servers such as Metrolink, X/Inside, Tektronix, HDS, NCD, etc. may be used. A typical configuration for XMIOS display hardware is to place multiple Matrox video cards into one PC chassis running Linux and the Metrolink X-server. In this arrangement, a mouse or trackball may be used simultaneously with each monitor’s touchscreen. The mouse or trackball moves across all screens seamlessly. Software Answer: Yes. Our software is designed with touch screens in mind. We have multi-line text on buttons, which allows the proper spacing and sizing of buttons. We also have pop up numeric keypads and alpha keyboards, to allow full functionality in absence of a keyboard.
