In particular, does click-and-drag work?

I've only tried this one.  It's USB- I plugged it in and checked 
/var/log/messages to see what to google for.  evtouch seems to be pretty 
common and works fine just by installing the ubuntu package.

It's completely unusable before it's been calibrated-- it thinks "up" is 
"down" and the usable screen is only 1/2 size.  So I ran the calibration 
program from the console.

after that (and restart X) it works fine.
