OK, so assuming you simply using USB version of eGalax device the only
recent change (3.6-rc7) was:

commit 037a833ed05a86d01ea27a2c32043b86c549be1b

    Input: usbtouchscreen - initialize eGalax devices
    
    Certain eGalax devices expose an interface with class HID and protocol
    None.  Some work with usbhid and some work with usbtouchscreen, but
    there is no easy way to differentiate.  Sending an eGalax diagnostic
    packet seems to kick them all into using the right protocol for
    usbtouchscreen, so we can continue to bind them all there (as opposed to
    handing some off to usbhid).
    
    This fixes a regression for devices that were claimed by (and worked
    with) usbhid prior to commit 139ebe8dc80dd74cb2ac9f5603d18fbf5cff049f
    ("Input: usbtouchscreen - fix eGalax HID ignoring"), which made
    usbtouchscreen claim them instead.  With this patch they will still be
    claimed by usbtouchscreen, but they will actually report events
    usbtouchscreen can understand.  Note that these devices will be limited
    to the usbtouchscreen feature set so e.g. dual touch features are not
    supported.
    
    I have the distinct pleasure of needing to support devices of both types
    and have tested accordingly.
