We've used the Lilliput 8" screen with some success with the
Beagleboard. You'll need to patch your X driver for this to work and
that patch is not yet properly integrated into MeeGo IVI as far as I
know. I'll go poke around in the bug tracker to see if I can't find
any more info on that. But I understand that touch screens of the
"egalax" type should work out-of-the-box.
