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.
