best to fix the touchscreen drivers. 0x110 means 0x10 (numlock) and 0x100
(button 1). ignore the numlock, so this just means that the touchscreen
never sends a button release event (or touch up, depending on what version
of X you're running).

I'd need to see the evtest output for this device and the xserver/evdev
version you're running to say more though.
