I downloaded the 2-6-25 kernel because of the newly integrated driver for the very model I want to use, usbtouchscreen. In the XF86Config file I additionally need to specify a driver, but I don't have an idea which one. I read about people using evtouch, but I don't know why and I don't know which /dev/... node to use. I think it has to do with event nodes and evdev is loaded, too. Furthermore, I don't know how to suppress a mouse driver that processes events without suppressing my real hardware mouse. I hope, my questions are making enough sense to you to see my problem. Is there someone to explain some of those things? Stefan
