I am sure there is even a huger list than this, but here is a small list of apps, which were made to have mouse/touchscreen support:
GP2X-GPE
GP2X-Qtopia
GP2X-X11
Gmenu2x
In the comments section for these apps on archive.gp2x.de, users are requesting touchscreen support.
I am creating this thread to see what can be done, and how complex the process would be to add touchscreen support in these apps. We do not even have one single third-party touchscreen launcher. Correct me if I'm wrong. I would love to see Gmenu2x with touchscreen support.
How does the touchscreen work? I imagine by now, it does not emulate a mouse and a left mouse button, as extra coding is required, correct? Has a library been to proxy all mouse code to the touchscreen, or a touchscreen library in general?
If I could get more information on how difficult coding the touchscreen is, I can try to modify the Gmenu2x source code and add touchscreen support. My C/C++ is not the best, however I do understand the general logic behind programming, and can read online references to see how things can be done.
Also, are people giving up on the GP2X and touchscreen support, as the Open Pandora is due to be out soon? Just curious.
Thanks in advance for any information anybody can provide on this.
