Touchscreen on Panasonic CF-18

Hello,

I am having difficulties getting the touchscreen on a Panasonic CF-18 Toughbook working in X (Version 7.0.99.903 (7.1.0 RC 3)).  I do not know if this is a problem at the OS level or with X.  This is not the digitizer (Wacom) version of the laptop.  Kernel 2.6.16.16 reports the following (not necessarily all touchscreen related):

PNP: PS/2 Controller [PNP0303:K101,PNP0f13:MOU2] at 0x60,0x64 irq 1,12
i8042.c: Detected active multiplexing controller, rev 1.1.

Serial: 8250/16550 driver $Revision: 1.90 $ 4 ports, IRQ sharing disabled

serial8250: ttyS1 at I/O 0x2f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A
00:0b: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A
00:0c: ttyS1 at I/O 0x2f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A

And later in the boot:

input: PS/2 Generic Mouse as /class/input/input1
input: PS/2 Generic Mouse as /class/input/input2

There is a lot of files created in these /sys entries.  I can provide details as needed.

/dev/input has the following:

crw-------  1 root root 13, 64 Feb 19 05:19 event0
crw-------  1 root root 13, 65 May 16 18:15 event1
crw-------  1 root root 13, 66 May 16 18:15 event2

crw-rw----  1 root root 13,  3 Oct 19  2005 js3
crw-r--r--  1 root root 13, 63 Feb 11 04:26 mice

crw-r--r--  1 root root 13, 33 May 16 18:15 mouse1
crw-rw----  1 root root 13, 35 Oct 19  2005 mouse3

evtest on event0 shows it is the keyboard.  event2 is the built in touchpad.  Both these generate events like one would expect.  evtest event1 (which I suspect is the touchscreen) yields:

Input driver version is 1.0.0
Input device ID: bus 0x11 vendor 0x2 product 0x1 version 0x0
Input device name: "PS/2 Generic Mouse"
Supported events:
  Event type 0 (Sync)
  Event type 1 (Key)
    Event code 272 (LeftBtn)
    Event code 273 (RightBtn)
    Event code 274 (MiddleBtn)
  Event type 2 (Relative)
    Event code 0 (X)
    Event code 1 (Y)
Testing ... (interrupt to exit)

No events are generated when the display is touched.

I have tried the fpit driver (using various xorg.conf/setserial combinations).  The touchscreen works fine in Windows (reports device as Fujitsu touchscreen).

Any thoughts?

John
