I was just looking at some of the in-dash touchscreen on ebay and was wondering whether anyone had installed a linux version of xbmc in their car? Would also be nice to hear any other thoughts on in car xbmc installations.

The thumbnails for the videos and tv-series makes it really easy for the kids to use from the backseat
+ a spider just thought it to be neat to drop on me :/
scared the hell out of me
Ow, and I've been up all night messing with lirc and XBMC,
my PCTV ir-receiver don't seem to work with the Xbox Remote, however it does work flawlessly with the original (how strange, huh?)
XBMC managed to get most of the commands right, except for the down key, that worked with an older build, but for the new build, I had to make it send a keydown event.
None the less, it would be a neat idea for a car installment!
But then again, wouldn't the original Xbox be neat aswell?
Kids love games, and combined with movies, they'll be smiling the whole trip, coz they're having the best of both worlds, all in a neat package!

This was not possibly with normal xbox as most touch screens require drivers. But, most if not all touchscreens have linux drivers available. So, I assume these could be installed and a touchscreen would be possible with xbmc-linux.
Would be good to get some confirmation from a linux dev tho.
