(suppose there is a demand for -as everyone who ever used a touchscreen wont want to miss it (- admittantly,though the durability is yet in question for mass-production: scratches...) BUT it is rather intuitive to touch what you see... instead of the touchpad below...) |
|||
i was looking around what is available at ebay and found quite alot of sources for eeepc (-BUT NOTHING IN THE SPECIFIC SIZE OF/FOR XO1) |
|||
i ordered one (costed less than 60 euros (august 2009) for my eeepc 900 , got it (included ts, controller-board and software for USB-driver (Windows/LINUX/...) and will add according to this video at youtube: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lt5ppKn05jg How to: Adding touch panel to Asus Eee PC 901] (900 is nearly the same as 901) |
|||
coming along with it was a controller-board that has to be plugged in at a present USB-port at the eeepc (or the xo1 in the future...) |
|||
on this controller-board there is a hub, too that has 4 USB-ports: |
|||
a FIRST will be used if you decide to plug it into (better lets say: thread into) an already used USB-port as you have to deliver it to the now used port to get the camera working... a SECOND the for the ts (as at the eeepc there is the option to use the camera-USB-port) |
|||
ok, (at the eeepc) i intend for myself to go and use the NOT YET used PCI-e (it got another FREE USB-port -as far as i know by now...) |
|||
also hope that makes it faster AND does NOT use an already used USB-port -so i plug in the ts and have got 3 free ones left...): in one of these three left i intend to plug a [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Bluetooth Bluetooth]-dongle at the same procedure (just to have one under the hood without having to open the lid again or need for one plugged in at the ONLY TWO AVAILABLE external USB-ports (and: to make it possible to switch on and off by hardware!! i think of using a REAL switch that needs threading through the case) to have control about power consumption... |

BUT |

where to find / buy such for xo/olpc ?? see: http://laptop.org/en/laptop/hardware/specs.shtml |

xo / olpc got a 7.5" Dual-mode TFT display |

panel size is: 170 mm x 140 mm |

Viewing area: 152.4mm × 114.3mm |

if you had found HARDWARE sources let me know!! thomas@biopilze.de |
|||
oh well "software" (esp. for "sugar") is a different issue: ok for myself, i think of using ubuntu, first: there should be drivers: BUT: suppose the above mentioned controller-board should do for xo1 , too: as just the size of the ts is different: instead of 8.9" (for eeepc900/901) we need a 7.5" (for xo1), the rest should do... |

XO-4 Touch
The XO-4 Touch has a touchscreen built in.
Got a problem? See XO Troubleshooting Touchscreen for help.
XO-1.75 Prototypes
Several XO-1.75 prototypes were fitted with touchscreens for development. These are now unsupported.
XO-1
The XO-1 was not made with a touchscreen. Some community members tried to add one, but the parts are unlikely to be available now. --Quozl 05:43, 28 October 2013 (UTC)
