Sorry, it seems like the nw controller I used the other day had old
firmware (product 0x1, firmware 2.91). With 2.92 I see the same
list of supported events, but I get X/Y events on motion instead of Z / Rx:

Hmm, what is report mode 4? Some kind of multi touch mode?

What do you see if you install the Nextwindow USB config tool under
Windows (unfortunately doesn't work under Wine) and look in the mouse
tab? I guess you have a 4th option here.

I see this:  http://peter.korsgaard.com/nw.png

You can get usb config here:

OK, great - Let me know what you find. I did hack something up with
evtouch, but would like to move to evdev instead.
I'm willing to work on getting evdev to handle multi screen touchscreen
setups better if needed, I just need a bit of guidance on how it should
be handled.
