I’ve been given a free 5u rack that I’m looking to switch into. It has a 12” touchscreen display built into the front. The screen has two cables, a VGA with an adapter to an old serial COM header (touchscreen input?), and a DVI which I assume is for the video. I attached a few photos showing how it was originally set up.
Can anybody think of a way to put the screen and/or touchscreen to use? I clearly don’t “need” them to do anything… but it would be cool. I could probably just plug in the dvi and run something in the local shell to give live status (zpool iostat 1). But I’m sure there’s got to be something better.
Similar old post, but no touchscreen, and things may have changed since 2012 haha: https://www.truenas.com/community/threads/does-freenas-support-a-vga-display.10164/
