Can't hurt to try.

The driver I have was compiled against Xorg 6.8.2 but it works with
Xfree86 4.2.1

The official drivers are compiled against Xorg 6.8 but work with XFree86 4.0
(iirc), so there is a good chance the evtouch driver will work if u try it.

evtouch definitely works with 4.x

The site claims that evtouch only works with 2.6 kernels though (rather, that
it has only been tested on 2.6 kernels). Looking at the source code of
evdev.c I don't see any obvious differences that would stop it from
functioning with the /dev/input/eventX interface of 2.4 though. I guess what we
really need is someone who can test. :)
