[SDL] New User Question

[Walt Crowley]

Junior,

I have had very little problems with SDL on Linux.  As far as some of the what does it access I will leave that answer to someone better qualified.  But for the TS SDL is indepenedent of this.  I use a TS on my system (I have used both MTOUCH and ELO) and Linux will just read the TS as a mouse/pointer device.  You can then use the event loop to read the location on the screen, through the   SDL_MOUSEMOTION or SDL_MOUSEBUTTONDOWN(UP) events.  Same thing for keyboard events.  I have not used nanoX but I am currently using Fedora core (4,5,6) and I have started to use Unbutu.  All seem to work well with SDL.  

Walt.
