Hi, Thomas
I've already have Xfbdev started. Thanks for your help. But I have not
yet figured out a right way to pass my touchscreen device
(/dev/input/event0) to Xfbdev. I tried something like "-mouse
evdev,,..." and "-mouse tslib,,..." but always got strange warning
messages. Maybe you have experience on this.
