Can someone test this?

On latest Wheezy with Foundation 7" display
, successfully did the clone but fails at ./install.sh with "/dev/twofingtouch: No such file or directory"   Any thoughts?

@scooter this works. Thank you

Good to hear.
I found a way to adapt twofinger for my 5 inch Waveshare LCD.
Two finger touch is not supported but it works at least to use the toolbar in opencpn. I will post some instructions later.

I was able to get this working with the addition of "sudo" before the "./install.sh" step. If you are not working at root probably good idea to include this nugget.

The git clone method works just fine. You get the /dev/twofingtouch error when you forget to restart after running install.sh

I can install twofing but it doesn't help. Indeed I don't see why it would help as it's not a right click that is the issue.

It seems to be a OCPN issue. Can somebody who is a member of the Cruisers Forum where the OCPN forum is hosted ask the developers?

I had myself removed from the Cruisers forum because of the draconian idiots who censor it so can't participate in development and beta testing anymore or at least contribute my findings.
