Interesting, I just bought one myself. :-) There is a NetBSD driver for
it, uep(4). I had a quick look at it and one "issue" I have with it, is
that they push the data into their wscons driver, so we will have to do
something else there. I did thought of making the data available to the
moused daemon, but I'm not sure if that is doable because mice normally
work in relative values, while the touch screen work with absolute
values.

I see that their Linux drivers ship with source, so maybe one can use
their X driver and make our kernel driver such that the two can work
together?

Anyway I'm open to ideas on how to proceed.
