[nflug] touch screens

[anthonyriga]

You got it working that great. I always wondered how
Linux works on those. We had a Panasonic tough booc
that I would like when I have time to test. Out GIS
dept uses it for realtime data. The are out in the
field doing surveys and the data is updated to server
automatically. They are using verizons wireless
service cards. Dont know if any of those wireless
phone service cards work with Linux yet. They are a
bitch to setup in Windows.
