hi CMD,

you are welcome, thanks for pointing out the PPA :)!

I am on 10.04 now and already tried the vendor driver with no succes.
It also did not work on 9.10.

When I blacklist usbtouchscreen, there is no device loaded and nothing is
recognised in Xorg.

About the vendor: I do not know exactly. Unfortunately the drivers are
binary and they do not work for me.
I did not find a contact email adress, I think I should look harder :).

I prefer evdev, but it seems hard.

With usbtouchscreen driver loaded i get a proper input device, but no input
if i touch the screen.
This has been the problem from the beginning: no input is registered.

When usbtouchscreen is loaded, input -list says:
Sensing Win7-TwoFinger                  	id=15	[slave  pointer  (2)]
(when not loaded it is not there.)

I am out of ideas, If you have any, please let me know!
