Touchscreen
So the ordered parts are starting to get delivered, and as I'm starting to get a little impatient started work on getting the touchscreen up and running.
I used the Adafruit TFT 2.8" Touchscreen, and had to install a new modified kernel on my existing one. It was a bit snippy:

We have power to the display!

There we have the desktop!

Decided to play a video on it to see how well it performed. The picture doesn't do it justice.
