I am wondering how this belongs to hackers@? Now the real answer: It depends. Touchscreen != Touchscreen, as there are different technologies available (better ask a sales person for your application). If you just want to get a "click" from a screen device, you can use any. First, I'm not aware of any working USB based devices working under FreeBSD (except mine, not yet released to public). There are other devices with RS-232 connectors for which you may find X.Org drivers in the port tree. For the usb devices, I've got working drivers for GeneralTouch ST-601U (buggy firmware, dumb tech support, not my preference, but it's working) and @-Touch SAWUSB. Next week I should have a working driver for Zytronic devices and one or two others. All for usb devices, everything for the BSDs only but not yet released.
