Ah I see. I did not notice any extra devices, but I haven't looked closely.

I'm pretty sure it is just an I2C HID touchscreen, so things should work,
but for some reason the touchscreen is not responding to i2c communications.

There might be a bug in the i2c controller driver under Linux, or it might
be that some magic ACPI poke is needed somewhere to enable the touchscreen.

I think it is very unlikely that you'll get different results under Fedora.
