Yamaha MODX with External Dell E2014T Touch Screen Monitor ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
No more Eye-Strain with MODX !
I have just tested my old Dell E2014T Touch Screen monitor (with USB 2.0 Upstream port), and its Touch Screen works perfectly with my MODX
I am using:
1.purchased CronusMax USB 2.0 Extension Cable with Power/Data ON/OFF switch (cronusmax.com), connected this to MODX8 USB to Device port.
2. Powered USB 2.0 Hub with 2-4 ports
(you need powered USB 2.0 Hub see explanation below) connecting to the
cronusMAX Switch.
3. USB 2.0 Hub connected to this switch,:This way I can switch off the USB 2.0 Hub
(and also the StarTechTech Adapter) when the external display is not needed,
this way the StarTech Adapter not draining power from the MODX.
4. StarTech USB2VGAPRO2 Adapter also connected
to my non-powered USB 2.0 Hub Chipset ID Display Link - DL-195
5. Dell E2014T Touch Screen monitor VGA (D-Sub) connected to StarTech Adapter
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The trick is:
you MUST use the MODX Hot Key Combination (MODX Manual Page 52) to activate the touch screen calibration routine on the Dell E2014T Monitor.
That operation will appear on your Dell and you MUST touch the 5 white squares to activate the touch screen function.
-----------------------
Also very important that frirst power on the Dell Monitor, and second the MODX, because the external monitor recognition process takes place during the MODX booUp process.
********************************************************************
MODX only works with Adapters having Chipset ID DisplayLink - DL-195

StarTech USB2VGAPRO2 adapter Chipset ID DisplayLink - DL-195

Why POWERED USB 2.0 HUB is needed:
The VGA adapter consumes a lot of power, so if you connect it directly to the USB (Device) of MODX, it may break down, please make sure to pass through a USB hub that can supply power from the outside)

Connect external touch screen LCD to YAMAHA MONTAGE/MODX, operation test.
ATTENTION ! External touch screen LCD connection is outside of manufacturer's warranty. We and YAMAHA are not responsible even if MONTAGE/MODX or connected equipment malfunction like this. The USB VGA adapter can be displayed with VGA connection, DVI connection or HDMI connection. If you have a product with DisplayLink's DL - 195 chip, it is highly likely to work. (The VGA adapter consumes a lot of power, so if you connect it directly to the USB (Device) of MONTAGE/MODX, it may break down, please make sure to pass through a USB hub that can supply power from the outside) MONTAGE/MODX USB (Device) terminal is USB flash Because we assume storage, the power we can supply is small. You need to use a self-powered USB hub that comes with a large output AC adapter. Also, it is necessary to turn on the power of the USB hub and the power of the external LCD before turning on MONTAGE/MODX.
1) When touching the external touch screen LCD, the touch screen of the main unit can not be used. Also, the backlight of the main unit LCD lights, but there is no indication. (Black screen)
2) When there is no touch function (or USB for touch detection is not connected) When the external LCD is connected, it is possible to display the clone of the built-in LCD on the external LCD and use the touch screen LCD of the main unit I can do it. Advantages of using the external LCD are (1) to be able to operate even if the main body LCD is difficult to operate depending on the installation location of the main unit even if it is separated from the main unit by using a monitor arm etc, (2) MONTAGE/MODX Is it possible to operate with a capacitive touch screen that is more durable than a touch screen.
INFO:
The LCD brand is GreenHouse (GH-LCT22C-BK).
The connection method with MONTAGE/MODX is the USB 2.0 to Device terminal. USB 2.0 HUB is connected and the USB-VGA adapter (Wavlink USB 2.0 VGA / DVI / HDMI multi display adapter) and the USB cable for touch detection of the LCD are connected.

To me it seems that 3 Monitors work with touch functionaliity with MODX,
the first is DELL S2240T, and the second is mine, the DELL E2014T. and GreenHouse (GH-LCT22C-BK).
