I'm having trouble getting the touchscreen to work. The touchscreen on
my device is a PenMount 6000 USB.
When running dmesg, this is what I found about it:

<6>[ 4.033918] input: DIALOGUE INC PenMount USB as /class/input/
input6
<7>[ 4.060448] evbug.c: Connected device: "DIALOGUE INC PenMount
USB", usb-0000:00:1d.7-4.1/input0
<6>[ 4.060456] input: USB HID v0.01 Mouse [DIALOGUE INC PenMount
USB] on usb-0000:00:1d.7-4.1
<6>[ 4.066725] usbcore: registered new interface driver usbhid
<6>[ 4.070042] drivers/hid/usbhid/hid-core.c: v2.6:USB HID core
driver

This says it's registered as a USB HID, does this report relative
movements?. Can I get this to work with Android in some way?

Information from /proc/bus/input/devices
I: Bus=0003 Vendor=14e1 Product=6000 Version=0001
N: Name="DIALOGUE INC PenMount USB"
P: Phys=usb-0000:00:1d.7-4.1/input0
S: Sysfs=/class/input/input6
U: Uniq=
H: Handlers=mouse0 event6 evbug
B: EV=1b
B: KEY=30000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
B: ABS=3
B: MSC=10

It is registered as /dev/input/event6.

Can someone give me some hints on getting this to work? Do I need to
write my own device driver?

Anyone knows how to configure and build the tslib for Android. I tried
using static building, but I'm getting strange errors.

Does Android rely on BTN_TOUCH and ABS_PRESSURE?
tslib says my device has no BTN_TOUCH support.

I still didn't get it to work. It seems the touch screen acts as USB
HID, with no support for ABS_PRESSURE, BTN_TOUCH events.
Can I fix this in the USB drivers? Anyone knows where I should be
looking?
