BobA:
An original xbox is a great media server or mame box but you cannot run the driver for the touchscreen on the xbox so it will probably not work even thou you can connect via modified usb.

Sorry mate but you are wrong.

If you have a touch screen film, that is compatible with a USB mouse (I have a trashed EEEPC that has one) it just plugs in and is detected by XBMC.  I'm not sure about custom touch screens, but the one I linked works like a mouse.

I would suggest that you do some research before making such comments, as it is very unhelpful if someone is making a project on the cheap.  The only problem I saw in getting to work was getting the screen configured for a 7" work area.

I connect to the XBMC via my android and WiFI.  If I was going to do something like this I would skip the touchscreen affair and look at getting a cheap tablet.  That way you can use the tablet for home use and then dock it to your cab and use the XBMC app.

There is a new android app out that runs an app on charge event, so when you dock the tablet it will go into XBMC automatically and use it as a juke function.  I tried to make a pic of this but it is too dark. You can pick up that Apad for $99 so it would be a better option.

BobA:
I have tried it on an xbox and it DOES NOT WORK as I am talking about an ELO driver that is needed for an ELO touchscreen not an addon film screen.  You are talking PC usage where my original post was directed at the usage on the original xbox.  A trashed eepc can load a touchscreen driver but the xbox cannot.  Anyway since the OP already has a 15 inch touchscreen we would need to know if it acts as a mouse or needs a specific driver for the touchscreen to use it with an xbox.
 
I see you made comments on both PC and xbox usage of an add on film screen working adn that will work if the screen the OP has one of those add on screens.

Am I discussing a ELO touchscreen?

Have I linked to a ELO Touchscreen?

No.  The Xbox XBMC loads in a driver for use with a USB mouse, which is compatible with the linked touch screen.

I dunno BobA, maybe you are trying to be helpful, but it is missing the mark.  ::)
