[Build] About those touch panels

[nils at shkoo.com]

Hi,

I searched the wiki for jira but no hits came up.  Is there information on 
our jira implementation elsewhere?  I looked briefly on the build mailing 
list too but saw nothing there.  What are we using jira for?

Anyways, I'm looking at the back of one of the touch panels and here is 
what I see:

Sticker on the left:
   081507
   PN 894-0048

Sticker on the middle-right with bar code:
   0316673

Those don't look like any model numbers I can find on the web site.

However, from looking at the inexio website, 
http://www.inexio.co.kr/new/downloads/catalogues/Nop%20Series.pdf looks 
like the same thing we have.  This is listed as "open frame monitor".

They supposedly have a linux serial driver on their site: 
http://inexio.co.kr/new/downloads/drivers/Linux-Serial.zip

However, none of this is actual protocol documentation and the driver is 
binary-only.  I don't know what version of anything the driver is designed 
to work with.

I'll take one of these home tonight and hook it up to serial and try to 
figure out what it's outputting.

In parallel, it might not be a bad idea for someone with access to one of 
the boxes at 2169 to try out the binary driver they supply.

Otherwise it looks like there's a desktop missing boot media so I can try 
(at a later date) booting it up with a live CD to see if I can get it 
working with that.
