I mean I'd expect multimedia/webcamd to only attach to "video" devices, but lo and behold I get a /dev/input/event0 device which spits out gibberish when cat(1)'ed and I touch the screen! My intentions were to port Linux's hid-multitouch device in whole to FreeBSD (it's what attaches to my eGalax device and probably to OP's touchscreen device) and add support for the device to moused(8), but it's not very high on my priority list... --=20 Anthony Jenkins
