Hello!

I have spent some time lately trying to find a solution to get my 7 inch eGalax touchscreen to work with  Raspbian(Debian Wheezy) in XBMC 12 Frodo and finally got it working as I wanted.

My Setup
  • Raspberry PI model B: ~30$
  • 7 inch display with touchscreen for car rear view camera, from eBay(touchscreen is connected to one USB port): 80$
  • HDMI male to HDMI male connector(from eBay): <2$
  • 4GB SDHC class 4 card
  • 12V(500mA) AC to DC adapter for powering the display
  • 5V(1A) microUSB AC to DC converter for powering the PI
  • USB keyboard
