[Bug 618804] [NEW] Touchscreen does not work on pad device

[Vincent Gerris]

Public bug reported:

The usbtouchscreen driver seems to be loaded but the touchscreen does not respond to input at all.
Please see all the attached info.
I tried tutorials from different sites, like:
http://samiux.blogspot.com/2010/07/howto-ubuntu-1004-on-gigabyte-touchnote.html
The device is reported by lsusb and lshal as a GeneralTouch touchscreen, as stated here:
http://it.linux-usb.org/usb.ids
The vendor / dev id is : 0fdc:0001
0dfc  GeneralTouch Technology Co., Ltd
	0001  Touchscreen

It is recognised as a dual input touchscreen in Windows 7.
Some extra info:
mypad at mypad-laptop:/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.32-24/drivers$ lshal | grep -i win7
  info.product = 'Sensing Win7-TwoFinger'  (string)
  input.product = 'Sensing Win7-TwoFinger'  (string)

kernel stuff should be attached.

The problems seems to be that there is no input from the screen: i have
been catting /dev/input/event* , but there is none that responded when i
was touching the screen.

The machine is kind of a white brand thing. There are some drivers for ubuntu 8.04 - 9.10, but i could not get it to work on 9.10.
Those drivers are here, i am not sure if the match my hardware:

It includes source code.

If you need more info, please let me know!
Thank you for any efforts.
