GRiD TouchScreen

Villus: /* Linux support */

The ThinkPad {{360P}}, {{360PE}} and {{750P}} models feature a Tablet PC like design that enables the display to be folded down face up onto of the keyboard. The display furthermore features a TouchScreen so that the whole unit can be used as a pen tablet.

Little to nothing is known about the technology behind those TouchScreens. But there seems to be [http://www.pd.com/gbpen/messages/1119.html indication] that these TouchScreens might have emerged from a cooperation with a company called GRiD. GRiD manufactured tablet morphable notebooks at about the same time the {{360P}}, {{360PE}} and {{750P}} were produced. In fact, the folding mechanism on those [http://www.pd.com/GRiD.html GRiDPads] was the same as on the three ThinkPad models in question.

==Linux support==
Nothing is known so far about Linux support for these TouchScreens.

You can, however, find evidence in the net that poeple did make GRiDPad TouchScreens work under Linux. So - IF this is really the same technology - you might have luck trying.

For the 360PE I found a link to a Linux Driver:
