Yes, I use Mesa. But I found a finale solution.

Now latency is down to 30 000/90 000 and I'm not using the base thread so I'm happy now :)
I will try this out on the mill tomorrow I hope.

I bought a couple of RTL173 screens, made by General Touch. These are 1280x1024 screens.

I use Debian 7 and LinuxCNC 2.7.8 and gmoccapy

The touchscreen works though USB and sort of mimics a keyboard. The calibration and such can be done with the standard linux tools, I have used:
CalibateScriptForBulitInDriver.tar.gz
xinput_calibrator-0.7.5.tar.gz

Altough the screen supports the portrait mode, the calibration scripts will not work in that mode. Gmoccapy looks great rotated to portrait mode btw.

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationReally happy to report that this touchscreen is working great with linuxCNC and it's a killer deal. I didn't even have to install any drivers! Capacitive and 1080P IPS too!

That is plenty of monitor for a ............price!!!!
Picture quality is not quite good, but for that price it is still a bargain !

Almost forgot, it has only analog inputs, even the DVI input is analog only, so i would not bet my life on it that it has full HD resolution.
I own a 7" one, same story, it can do 1024x768 but lcd native resolution is 640x360.

Hmm, I've been using the monitor with a HDMI to DVI adapter, AFAIK HDMI is digitial only unlike DVI. Are you sure you have a comparable model?

On that link in the picture you can clearly see the DVI port and it looks like analog only.
Today i got an HDMI to DVI adapter and got quite a surprise whet i went to plug it in, it is an analogue DVI one. I just threw it on a shelf and did not bother with it, now you made me think about it again, leme do some spiritual googling to prove me wrong ! :)

Tom
