My intuition is that adding the reporting to the kernel and hooking it
up through the standard evdev driver would be the right way to go; evdev
already has single-touch support working fairly well.  I don't think a
multitouch kernel API has been merged yet, though -- Henrik Rydberg
proposed an attempt here:

Peter, what do you think?

Thanks,
