About the use of the modified Onyx Monitor app: the commands placed on the corners (menu, refresh, A2 mode, GU mode) are triggered on "tap-up": this means that you do not necessarily need to tap on the right spot - you can just drag starting from another point and release out of the corner. Instead of tapping precisely there, you could swipe and release on the corner.
This is useful to avoid triggering GUI elements that are placed on the corners of the desktop OS interface (some buttons, icons, application start, computer shutdown etc).

It is probably the fourth day I am on-and-off using the Max2 as a monitor for a portable desktop (including right now as I type), and I have to say: it's great, it works really well!
Of course, the modifications I implemented are required for a good experience and the touchscreen is a game changer. The "touch to mouse" commands we implemented work even better than other solutions.

(I am now considering finding a good stand, adjustable in height, tilt etc.)
