To be honest newtusmaximus, we haven't had anyone provide feedback on this yet so it's a bit of an unknown.

Hello!

I DO know that Fujitsu touch screens AREN'T - which, unfortunately, are what my Compaq TC1000s and Gateway M285E both have, although the latter IS supported by Windows 7. I wish there was some way to use ndiswrapper to perhaps incorporate the Windows tablet digitizer drivers into Linux.

There is SOME Linux support for the Wacom digitizers out there, so if I had a TC1100, I MIGHT could pull things off. There are also equivalent Linux utilities to Windows Journal, the on-screen keyboard, and xrandr (to rotate the screen).

I have a new Dell netbook that has a touchscreen that works under Windows 8.1. I might give setting it up a shot in Linux Lite, and get back to you folks whit how to do it if I'm able to pull it off, even though Linux doesn't benefit much from the newer touchscreens...

Hi,

Not 100% conclusive.
I have just booted LL2 Live from USB Stick on an HP TS15, not quite ready to install it yet.
The touch screen seems to work O.K, but I have only tried opening and closing and dragging a few things.

Sorry, just re-read your post...
I think you are referring to external monitors with touch screen that connect via USB.??
