Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

Not sure if this is a Xorg bug, a HAL bug, a devicekit bug or a kernel
bug, but here goes:

When I installed Kubuntu Lucid Alpha 2 (alternate cd) on my Dell
Latitude XT my touchscreen worked without any configuration (at least
mouse movement and clicking). It worked the next day after reboot, but
after upgrading all packages on Monday the 18'th and rebooting the
touchscreen no longer works. I'm guessing this has something to do with
the removal of HAL, but the thing that has me curious is that the
touchscreen still seems to be registering in both /dev/input/mouse1 and
/dev/input/mice. Despite this (and the touchpad, pointer nipple and usb
mouse all working) it just doesn't seem to influence the cursor at all.

By the way, by "working" I'm only referring to using the screen in
single touch, mouse mode, not n-trig's multitouch (although I'm looking
forward to getting that working eventually :)

Thought I should let you guys know as the touchscreens are fairly
unusual technology rapidly becoming more popular.

Let me know what other info I can provide to help.
