Laptop as an input device


Recommended Posts

Is it possible to use a laptop as a CDU or an MFCD page that is separate from my main computer? Ive been wanting to do a multi touchscreen setup for this, but I just so happen to have a spare laptop lying around and this would be perfect for a scratchpad/CDU if possible. And if so, how would one go about doing the necessary mods?

Helios, Hawgtouch, and Ikarus come to mind.

Not the Ikarus. That's Windows only. And while touch screen is easier to use, it's just mouse emulation. Meaning you can *always* use a mouse for any touch screen app. Ikarus isn't doing anything special that makes it touch screen only.
