Given the recent announcement of multi-touch support within X and the Linux kernel - <a href="http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=NzMyMQ">http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=NzMyMQ</a><br>
<br>...what are the remaining hardware limitations that restrict multi-touch being on the Neo Freerunner used rather than the clever workarounds that've been discussed here previously?<br><br clear="all">Russ<br>

few hours, then it got replaced, many times :)<br>

</div>No, and you should also try as many as possible.<br>

</div>No experience with debian on freerunner, it should be just as fast as<br>
others. It all depends on what software you decide to use as a user<br>
interface. In my opinion, Qt Extended Improved feels the fastest but i<br>
was quite pleased with the recent shr-unstables too. Most "phonelike"<br>
would be the Qt Extended Improved.<br>

</div>This is a hw-issue but there are a few propeller heads which try to<br>
circumvent that by sw.<br>
