touchscreen”
Please tell us about your computer. What hardware is it? (Make, model,
RAM, CPU, disk space, laptop or desktop)
“It is a VIA PicoITX with the 1.2gh processor, 2g ram with the VM80L

tried and failed to install. Its actually the VIA Artigo A1100 kit. I
will have either 250gig or 500 gig. ”
Are you currently running Ubuntu on this hardware? If so, which version?
“I am running 10.10 with full wirelsess support! Yay! and all else works
great! Just need the touchscreen to work. I dual boot 9.1 as it seemed
to be supported by the wireless and am willing to run any Ubuntu that
will get the touchscreen working. ”

recommend that you copy all data to an eternal disk. If you need help

“This is not a problem, we can wipe it clean and start from scratch,
whatever works! If I get the touchscreen (ts) and wireless working in
one of the boots, I would love to have a small partition to play with
10.10 as well. ts works in a Windows Vbox”

“ Thanks for your help! I am willing to trade the 250gig drive with a
500gig drive if it would be easier to have multiple boots for stabs at
getting it working on different Ubuntu releases. ”
