  matherp said  The latest code is RC15. The only thing missing is a bluetooth hdmi version which I need some new H/W to test properly.

You can check touch functionality with GUI TEST TOUCH which supports dual touch traces or you can run the attached to test all the gestures. This works on my 7" display with all gestures passing.
You can also play with the on-screen keyboard  which you set up with
OPTION SCREEN KEYBOARD n where n is the screen percentage to use for the keyboard (30-40 recommended)

What a party :-) I've installed the latest RC15.
Sometimes I can get two fingers to work with GUI TEST TOUCH, but in 9 out of 10 cases only one is registered. The code above never displays the multi-touch gestures either. What a shame. The recognition rate seems to be too poor for that. And yet it’s supposed to support 10-point multi-touch.

I’m still having the same issue with the Microsoft USB mouse/keyboard dongle, as WhiteWizzard also points out.

Great! The on-screen keyboard is brilliant, isn't it?

Can I show or hide it using a code?

It would be brilliant if you could tap two fingers from the bottom of the screen or double tap three fingers to bring it up, and have a button to hide it again, just like on a tablet :-)

But for that to work, multitouch would have to be working in the first place; as I said, my screen is an MageDok T090A HDMI 9-inch IPS 1280x720 Touch 10 point.

The pump demo works perfectly!
Thanks Peter.
