Any progress on making the RHMI not beep three times when the password entry popup opens, even with "BEEP " disabled? -Ryan Poethke

This was added in the last update to 6.53 released Jan 22. Make sure you have signed up to be notified of software updates.

Does AD still post new firmware announcements in the Support forum? The latest firmware update forum post I saw for the RHMI was for 6.52, posted on 10/17/19. I wasn't aware that there was a notification option to sign up for. I'll look for that.
Exactly which EETI eGalax Touchscreen models are supported? I 've already been down this road with elo, and I'll guess that not all the screens ETTI makes are compatible.
Are ETTI products even sold in the US? I'm not finding much. I'm kind of surprised that AD isn't offering a line of compatible touchscreens to go with the RHMI.

Not in a consistent manner. -at least for software

That, too, is iffy. I have signed up multiple times for multiple products. Still waiting...

Have done this several times. Should I do it again?

Any update on a list of compatible touchscreens that are currently supported by a manufacturer, or is the RHMI to be relegated to the "neat, but unusable " list?

The 6.53 Update in January added the eGalax Resistive Touchscreen Driver in addition to the ELO Resistive Touchscreen Driver.
We tested these touchscreen monitors:
Tru-Vu Monitors - VMTR-15C-24 - https://tru-vumonitors.com/products/vmt-15-series/
Dynics - FX15PTUMAD - https://www.dynics.com/industrial-flat-panel-monitors
Advantech - IDS-3215R-40XGA1E - https://www.advantech.com/products/7...0-4a53ed7e5a51
Determining the driver used by the manufacturer can be difficult. I recommend you contact them and be sure.
For ELO Drivers we have found:
Hope Industrial Systems work well at a good price - https://www.hopeindustrial.com/
And of Course our own Atlas line of monitors use the ELO driver and work well with the EA9-RHMI https://www.automationdirect.com/adc...trial_monitors
Questions come up about pCap screen support. Unfortunately we have not found a pCap driver that will work on the EA9-RHMI Operating System but we continue to research this possibility.

This list is extremely helpful. Thank you!
