Hi ,

I am a new to Beagle and Android
I am developing a GPS navigation system in Beagle board with Android
OS as a study project.

I am looking for LCD with touch screen interface.

The Beagle board vendor Digikey is refering to LCD with USB interfaces
( part no : 653-1011-ND, etc...)which can work with beagle board.

Can a LCD + touch screen over USB interface used with Beagle board and
Android?
Is any special drivers required for it?

Please provide your suggestions.

Thanks,
D.KrishnaKumar

Yes, you would need drivers for a USB-based touchscreen and display to work in Linux on Beagle board. If the vendor provides the drivers for Linux, it might save you a lot of time and effort.

Have fun,

Hi all,
I ve successfully compiled xsetroot command on my beagleboard , how can i run it automatically before window manager opens.

I've tried .xinitrc startup but i still see cursor on boot.
But when i try to run command myself , it works with success.

I tried

xsetroot -cursor /etc/X11/empty.xbm /etc/X11/empty.xbm

this works fine on xterm when i run manually.

But i want to run this on autostart or something like crontab ?
I need help to hide that X ugly cursor.

I dont want people to see ugly X cursor on boot.

Regards....

Hi,

Thanks for your suggestions.

As of now due to strict schedules to keep the project moving ,
I am thinking to use a LCD TV which has only HDMI input and then later
to migrate to LCD .

Will the following connection work out
Beagle board->HDMI cable-> LCD TV

Thanks,
Krishna
