PenMount Full Support of Linux Operating System

Computex Taipei 2009 wrapped up over a week ago, on June 6 to be precise; and most attention was centered on the touch control products. And as to the PenMount controllers at the exhibition, the most popular were the ones with Widows 7 supported integrated into an 8.9 inch Projected Capacitive Input (PCI) touch screen and a 15 inch Multi-Finger resistive touch screen, as well as the 8.9 inch PCI touch screen with Google’s Android and Linux Ubuntu 9.04 supported. No doubt there were a lot of system integrators and touch monitor makers who demonstrated their solution during the show but there was rarely anything like that of what PenMount provided, the total touch solutions with Windows 7, Android, and Linux operating systems performing single and multi-points touch functions.

PenMount is not only dedicated to its new resistive and projected capacitive multi-touch solutions but is also very much focused on developing the newest drivers for Linux system such as, Ubuntu 9.04, Fedora 10、Fedora 11、openSUSE 11.1、CentOS 5.2、Debian 5.0. Further more, Sun Microsystems has announced that the PenMount 9000 and PenMount 6000’s drivers have passed the testing and verifications under OpenSolaris.
