I assumed it was an android touchscreen because the android drivers tend
to show the same symptoms. Since this is USB HID, I would suggest asking
on linux-input at vger.kernel.org and CC'ing Benjamin Tissoires
<benjamin.tissoires at enac.fr> specifically. He's been writing the generic
USB HID multitouch driver, and he would know how to quirk things to work
for your device.

Sorry for the confusion!
