Subject: Asus eee-top touch screen

Hi all.

I've done some tests to use the touch screen included in the Asus 
eee-top PC under Fedora 10/11. From the first results, the touch screen 
was detected, but only the mouse button events are generated. I've 
googled around a bit to find a solution, but found nothing.

Looking into kernel and X sources, the more viable solution for me was 
to write a little kernel module, to modify a bit the event's stream to 
make them compatible with X needs.

My module is attached, even if I fully understand that this module could 
be the worst conceived and worst written ever... :-)

To be serious: my choice was to make the less invasive solution, and 
this module appear to reach the goal: my touch screen works well now. 
Maybe mine was the wrong approach, but I've found so little 
documentation on how to make a better one. I'll obviously accept any 
useful suggestion.

I hope this could be useful.
