Send to USB attached touch screen monitor with xrandr












1















I have a project which involves buying a 5'' inch USB Touch Screen (from Raspberry Pi) to create an "info" screen: to control brightness, volume, current music, open shortcuts, etc...



I have the following questions:




  • Does xrandr detect USB screens?

  • Does xrandr work with touch screens?

  • Since xrandr will see this as a multi-monitor setup, can I prevent the cursor from entering the second USB screen (but still being capable of touch controls)?

  • probably wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DisplayLink . For the touch part (again probably) wiki.ubuntu.com/X/InputCoordinateTransformation#Limit_Range
