Come take a look at the PC I sometimes have in my Jeep...  Runs a
touch-screen and Linux/Xastir.  Talks to me while I drive too via
the Festival speech synthesizer.  Every bit of software on the box
is open-source and free.

Yea, you need a touch-screen driver.  I found one that works with
this box.  I've written a touch-screen driver for another type of
touch screen before, using an existing one as a template.  You can
often find a driver these days for any particular touchscreen.
