Touch Screens

I asked a guy on the IRC what he uses...

13:04 JT-Shop cradek: what kind of touch screen are you using?
13:04 cradek JT-Shop: I have 3 in use, all different
13:05 cradek all name brand, though. I think they are all either microtouch or elographics brand
13:07 cradek JT-Shop: the one on jr is usb, I think the other two are serial (older)
13:08 cradek JT-Shop: the only one I've had bad luck was a cheap import I bought new (a small car touchscreen thing) and it failed after 5 minutes of use. complete garbage.
13:16 cradek JT-Shop: I bet something like www.ebay.com/itm/200674451242 will be very likely to work. very fair price too.

I have a very anonymous industrial touchscreen which uses the eGalaxyTouch32 drives from EETI. It works fine, though I had to force creation of an xorg.conf and switch the X and Y directions.
