Hi guys!
VirusKiller can be fun to play with a touchscreen.

@mcleppa ,
I sent an email on December 5, 2023.
Have you received it?

I would gladly help as a beta tester.
Airscan works really well with my Canon TS8350.
I guess it's compatible with AirPrint too.

p.s.: until a month ago I could only print with Linux Mint. Windows 10 recognizes the printer but the data is sent endlessly and I have never been able to print anything.
After the latest Linux Mint update, I also have the same problems on Linux as on Windows.
So if I can print with AmigaOS, it would be a nice revenge against Windows and Linux.

Merry Christmas, Andy!
Thanks for this nice card video.

As mentioned about the hidtouch.usbfd driver in my website, it is impossible to know for sure which devices it supports.
In general all modern USB-connected multitouch screens work with the HID protocol, so these smartboards are probably compatible too. In any case, if it isn't compatible, with a little feedback I can write a dedicated driver in 2 or 3 weekends.

There are two ways:
1) adding the USB device directly into the command line that launches QEMU. In this way the emulated machine starts already seeing the connected USB device
2) using QEMU Monitor to add or remove USB device.

I prefer way #2, a few times I have had problems if the USB device is already connected when booting AmigaOS4.1 with an emulated machine.

Practical example:
- assuming that you have a USB touchscreen with vendorID=0x0eef and productID=0x0001.
- the touchscreen is already connected to the host machine
- you have to launch qemu with the following additional parameters: -usb -device usb-ehci,id=ehci
- to "connect" it to the guest machine you must type in the QEMU Monitor console: device_add usb-host,bus=usb-bus.0,vendorid=0x0eef,productid=0x0001,id=mytouchscreen
- to remove the device from the guest machine you must type: device_del mytouchscreen

You can choose any identifier of your choice instead of mytouchscreen.

Note: to be able to use USB on Linux, I had to configure qemu in the following way, before recompiling it: ./configure --enable-libusb --target-list=ppc-softmm
I don't know if it's enabled by default on Windows or not.

To learn more about QEMU and USB: QEMU USB emulation
In particular, you must be careful to correctly set the permissions to allow QEMU to access USB devices, as described in the following paragraph: QEMU - Using host usb devices on a linux host

Note: to open the QEMU Monitor console, press Ctrl+Alt+2 on the QEMU window.

Sure, the SDK is technically ready.
I'm using it to develop TouchBench.
I haven't published it yet because I believe that the Touch Device API needs to be improved and the definitive changes will be with the next version of Touch Device.
But if some developers already want to experiment, knowing that they will probably have to recompile when the new version comes out, I can provide the SDK privately.

A demonstration application that I would like to see built would be a simulation of something like this:
Sand Art video

I think a modified version of ShaderJoy that handles multitouch events directly would also be nice.

@Hans
Yes, it works.
I tested this driver on QEmu 8.1 (Pegasos2) too, connecting USB touchscreen monitors and configuring USB passthrough.

Hi everyone.

I have a problem with the RadeonHD V.5 driver.
I have two graphic cards mounted in the X1000:
GFX 1) Radeon HIS4670 1GB DDR3 (seen as "Radeon RV730")
GFX 2) Radeon R9 280X (seen as "Radeon HD 7900 Series")

The GFX 1 is attached to an old monitor with max 1024x768 res (MONITOR 1).
The GFX 2 is attached to an ultrawide modern monitor with max 3840x1600 res (MONITOR 2).

RadeonHD V3 supports both gfx cards.
RadeonHD V5 supports only the GFX 2.

If I boot with RadeonHD V3, i can open screens on gfx1 and on gfx 2.
I can push the GFX2 up to 3520x1440x48Hz.

If I boot with RadeonHD V5, the GFX 1 is not detected (as expected), but the GFX2 only displays correctly at resolutions up to 1680 x1050.
Resolutions over 1050 lines (even those that display correctly with Radeon V3) are displayed squashed vertically.

Where should I report this malfunction?

I tried to login on A-EON Technology's bug tracker but my old account seems blocked.
I tried to reset the password of the old account but i receive the message:"the maximum number of pending requests has been reached".
I tried to register as a new user with a different email but i never received the confirmation email.
Is there anyone who can restore my account to have access to the A-EON Technology's bug tracker?

Thank you, Hans!

Hi everyone!
We inaugurate the forum dedicated to TouchDevice with this topic.
I would like to collect here the experiences of those who have found the use of a touchscreen with pre-existing Amiga software useful.
If anyone has discovered an application or game suitable for use with a touchscreen, they can share their experience here.

Thanks!

@Elwood

Thanks, Philippe!
Happy to hear from you again.
You were the first to help me test the first driver more than 11 years ago.

Solution 1: using a virtual keyboard developed for reacting to mouse events

[hw touchscreen]->usb msg->[touch.device]->touch msg->[touchbench]->mouse events->[input.device]->intuition msg->[virtual kb]->keystroke event->[input.device]


Solution 2: using a virtual keyboard app that manages touch events directly
[hw touchscreen]->usb msg->[touch.device]->touch msg->[new virtual kb]->keystroke event->[input.device]


Solution 1 would already work with existing applications with the help of Touchbench.
Solution 2 is preferable if you need to write a new virtual keyboard app.

Do you think it would be useful to open a forum dedicated to TouchDevice on amigans.net?

@TSK
I can try to help you if needed.

Unity is strength!

Released on OS4Depot the new versions of TouchDevice & TouchBench.

Note: this upgrade provides the first public release of the HID driver for touchscreens, which should allow the use of the vast majority of modern multi-touch monitors.

@AlfredOne

A little update.
Two betatesters confirm that the HID Multitouch driver works with two different touchscreens.
Any other betatester is welcome!

Thanks!
