I made some patches for Maverick in order to make the PB Butterfly Touch / Acer 1420 mosart touchscreen work. 
This kind of problem appears in many touchscreens, and can be solved in hid. The following 2 simple patches do this: 
- /drivers/hid/hid-ids.h -> registers an ID for our particular device
- /drivers/hid/usbhid/hid-quirks.c -> applies the MULTI INPUT quirk for our device
Hopefully this will get upstream (they only add this device in lists along other touchscreens) so that our touchscreens work out of the box :D
(Tested with the 2.6.35.4 kernel - Maverick beta x64 + updates)

(For those who are just looking for a quick sollution in Lucid, I did a evdev workaround (similar to #1 ) and the file can be found here: http://romanescu.net/content/mosart-touchscreen-linux
(=just replace your evdev_drv.so driver with the one I compiled there and it should work ;) )
