Maybe it has usability problems, but in many cases the touchscreen is
more confortable than a mouse. I don't believe that it is impossible or
very difficult to modify the code so that a touchscreen behave similarly
(or the same way) as the touchpad or mouse. In win8 Microsoft could do
this. Canonical way not able to do?

Title:
  evdev settings doesn't work at all

Status in “xserver-xorg-input-evdev” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  My machine is the new Samsung XE700T1C-A01CA, aka ATIV SmartPC Pro. It
  has the same touchscreen as the previous Series 7 slate, the Atmel
  maXTouch Digitizer.

  I modified /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf to add the
  following options to the touchscreen section:

          Option "EmulateThirdButton" "1"
          Option "EmulateThirdButtonButton" "3"
          Option "EmulateThirdButtonTimeout" "750"
          Option "EmulateThirdButtonThreshold" "50"

  and restarted X. Running xinput list-props shows that these properties
  are indeed set for the Atmel touchscreen device. However, when I touch
  and hold my finger in the same spot on the screen, nothing happens!

  I'm not sure what other files or output dumps would be useful for this
  bug (I'm a programmer but consider me a user as far as this stuff is
  concerned), so please let me know what else would be helpful and I
  will include it.
