Just curious if anyone knows if the touch-display functionality on the atrix will work with HDMI mirroring when connected to a touch-sensitive external display?

Curious as I'm contemplating getting one to setup in my car in the center console, idea is to replace a display in my center console with a touch-sensitive one and run 1x HDMI & 1x USB cable into my arm rest storage area where the phone can reside.

Would be nice if it worked, I could have android on a larger display in the car, internet, navigation .. etc etc... seen guys do this with some tablets but I'd like to see if I could run it off the Atrix.. could even wire the audio to an 'Aux Input' on the back of my radio and use the phone to play music on my car's system.

Similar idea to the padfone concept, just different application.

Just don't know if the touch-screen functionality is native when its connected over HDMI or not, anyone ever messed with it?

I suppose with webtop it may be possible, especially if you have ubuntu or debian, as for hdmi mirroring I wouldn't think so... and if there were calibration software you wouldn't be able to run it on android... So I would say you could try and that it is theoretically possible. Though I don't have a touchscreen to test it with...

Check the dev section. There is a guy working on that exact concept.
