touchscreen-drivers?

[Thomas Niederreiter]

Hi,

I was given the task to get linux on a touchscreen-system running.

The Problem is that I fail to get the touchscreen running...it
is connected via a com-port to the system.
The intention of all this, to provide a service for our students
based on a HTML-Interface...
This means, I start netscape on the machine and the people can
finger-tip through all available pages.

The touchscreen is from "TruePoint" and the technical manual
says:
"SmartSet touchscreen controller family".
Can anybody help me?

Thanx,

Thomas Niederreiter

XFree86 supports Elographics serial touchscreen in the latest beta
versions. Check if your touchscreen is compatible.

What have you tried so far?
What driver and touchscreen are you using?
Which kernel are you using?
