hey everyone,

for months now I've been dreaming up ways to install a carputer in my jeep keeping one clear overall goal in mind: I want to make it opensource, no windows no windows frontends under wine I want to make it authenticly linux based.

the main chanenge was a screen that would look decent in my dash and I found this on a carputer forum about the same model jeep I have.

Now that I have a list of parts form his build, I can sub in my own.


My question before I start compileing pieces is does anyone know how well touchscreen drivers are supported under linux?

I mean the whole project sort of hinges on that.

I've been tempted to either use a motorized touch screen and and connect it via my netbook or possibly using a nettop, the latest ASUS model had a built in battery backup.
