Poseidon: New USB-class for "CarTFT" Touchscreen
Because of an inquiry by Carsten Siegner Chris Hodges has written an USB driver for the touchscreen of an Egalax 7"-Car-TFT-Monitors.

Carsten Siegner has published two beta versions of this driver on his homepage. Because the monitor of the touchscreen of Carsten currently is out of order the driver is not developed further.

Limitations of the beta version: Debug-Output on the serial interface, you can not change the work area of the touchscreen.
