Forgive me if I have posted this in the wrong place! I am trying to put together a setup where customers in my store can scan a barcode and get a price on the item they are looking for. I had an old hp thin client lying around with a 1GB flash drive and figured this would be perfect for the job. Most of this is working, I can run a kiosk and have the web page pop up, the scanning works and indeed the correct price is shown. My issue is that I do not want to use a huge monitor. After looking around I saw that many people have been able to use the Lilliput 7" monitor as the display. This would suit my needs perfectly. I found a Proximus monitor that appears to have the same controller. After playing around with it on Ubuntu, I have made it work, but the version of Ubuntu is huge and does not leave much for swap, so the thing is dog slow.
I found Tiny Core and it flies! Unfortunately I do not know enough about Tiny Core to be able to rebuild it the way I want. Basically I need the operating system to do the following:
1) Boot up when powered on.
2) Install the correct drivers to detect the usb attached display.
3) Start a small windows manage running a browser in kiosk mode and display the designated web page.
4) Monitor the usb attached barcode scanner and fill in the required fields.
At this point the display is found (screen turns green) but I can't seem to find the x configuration file to designate the device, monitor, display size etc. If anyone could point me in the right direction I would be most appreciative. Cheers,
Sandy
