It depends on how it is implemented (and how easily XF86 would be adapted)... speaking as somebody who has done multiheaded touchscreen implementations for Sun workstaions, I would guess that it would be somewhat trivial, but would probably require XF86 mods... A neat thing to do might be to make it "look" like a serial mouse (ioctl or something?).... that would allow it to be used with XF86 without any further modifications. Cool way to do it, at least for certain applications. ...
