[Xastir] Xastir with RPi3B using a 3, 5" TFT touch screen 480x320

[Brett Friermood]

Hi Cyril,

I don't know if I've heard of anyone using that small of a display, but
Xastir does have some built-in abilities to help with smaller displays.
However, to take advantage of them will require recompiling from source. If
you have not installed Xastir via that method already it could be a steep
learning curve for you.

Prior to compiling there is a flag in main.c (search for "LCD640x480TOUCH")
that can be uncommented to make the changes including moving where dialogs
display, swapping mouse button functions to work with touchscreens, and
reconfiguring the status message area. Additionally, changing the font to a
smaller size will help.

As the flag name implies, things were specifically set up for a 640x480
resolution, so I'm not sure how well it will work with such a small display
as you are using.
