According to the Xfree86 website, there is XInput extension support
for the MicroTouch touch screen.  And the serial protocol is documented
on the MicroTouch website.

I'd be interested to know if you get it working.  I currently have something
running under NT which uses a touchscreen, and I'd rather like to move it
to a real operating system (although it would have to be Solaris (or Linux!)
because I need NIS+ client support).
