More on this.

I'm now with Fedora 13 (using a very Lucid-like system) and the
behaviour was exactly as described in this bug. Booting with the 2.6.32
kernel provided by Fedora 12 makes my touchscreen work properly, but it
gets detected as two devices instead of one. The problem is narrowed to
a Fedora 12 only patch for 2.6.32, that introduced HID_QUIRK_MULTI_INPUT
for eGalax touchscreens in drivers/hid/usbhid/hid-quirks.c. We are
demanding the return of that patch to Fedora 13, to divide the
touchscreen in 2 device, but conquer the touchscreening here. If we can
get X to recognize the touchscreen as a tablet, or as a whatever that
gives reliable X and Y coordinates, and answer to touch, we are done.

Keep an eye on this, Ubuntu followers! The source of this issue is this.
It is not evdev, it's the kernel. And that patch is the solution. I'll
report my advances getting this fixed under Fedora 13.
