Touch screen support in Qt/X11
Message 1 in thread
Hello,
Can anyone let me know whether it is possible to integrate Qt/X11 (version 3.3.2) with a touch screen on a supported platform, say Red Hat Linux 9.0? Or, do I have to use Qt/Embedded for the same?
Thank you,
Regards,
Pankaj.

Qt does not have anything to do with touch screens. You just need an appropriate driver.
The touch screen then creates normal mouse events.

I made my software work on different touchscreens using Qt 4.x.y and my
experience is that all of those work in a way that touch is actually
realized as mousePressEvent and mouseReleaseEvent. You need to configure the
touchscreen to work with your O/S and then you are good to go. There is no
need for embedded although it shall work, too.
