Henrik,

Thanks for the info and pointing out the st1232 driver.  Do you know
of a link to a datasheet for it?

So, is the dual/muti-touch feature just a function of the controller?
Or do you need a touchscreen that actually supports it?

My product is currently using a 5.7" color TFT-LCD from OSD Displays.
They have a version with a built in 4 wire resistance type touchscreen
(p/n OSD057VA01CT).  I haven't used a touchscreen before so I don't
know any of the details on how they work, but with the 4 wire interface
(YU, XR, YD, XL) I don't see how you could read more than one touch.

Thanks for any information.

Regards,
