  There was RFC to standardize name of touchscreen device in OE, and
at the beginning of year corresponding changes were made (not by me
;-) ). For all 2.6 devices (which has standardized touchscreen support),
there's a udevd rule which creates symlink from /dev/input/touchscreen0 to
real device. Maintainers of 2.4 devices (which are mostly replaced with 2.6
versions in OE.dev by now) are expected to provide such link by other
means - either create link specific to some device, or use tool like
detect-stylus.

  Such change does good job of clarifying touchscreen detection in system
(you might remember my tries few months ago to implement it cleanly in
Familiar).

  I understand that such a change would be too liberal for GPE mainline
at this time, but OE.dev provides nice staging ground for that, so
let's see how it goes.
