Thanks Steve,
In my case I do not want the touch screen to act as a mouse.
I have written a few drivers fro XFree86-4 for this purpose.
Rather, I handle the depressing fof buttons and special highlights
to ease the use of the system.
I use an IO callback to read the serial port and position the pointer
accordingly. I need a routine that turns off the blacking of
the screen (if it is blank) when the callback begins.
Any thoughts?
