can be operated with or without a keyboard and is compatible with a mouse.
Important:
If the touch controller is configured as PS/2 touch (via jumpers) a
mouse cannot be connected to the external PS/2 mouse.

Note: Of course it is always possible to use a serial or a USB mouse at the same
time as the touchscreen.
Explanation Of Functions
A touchscreen controller for resistive touchscreens is integrated into the
motherboard to analyze the sensor line state changes caused by touching. The
touchscreen controller calculates and formats this data and then sends it to the
touchscreen software driver via the COM4 port or optionally the mouse-PS/2 port
(interrupt-controlled). The driver converts the data into pointer commands.
The analog touchscreen controller used for analysis provides a resolution of 4096 x
4096 pixels (12-bit horizontal and vertical).
4-wire touchscreens (10.4" front panel) and also 8-wire touchscreens (12.1" front
panel) are supported.

Resources
By default the resources for the touchscreen controller are the same as for the
COM4 port. If the appropriate configuration exists, these may also be the same as
for the PS/2 mouse. With the exception of ensuring that the jumpers are set correctly
J6 (open = Touch active) and J13 (closed=PS/2, open=COM4), no further
configuration is required.
