Bug Description
I'm on Precise.
The initramfs includes the usbhid module but not the usbtouchscreen module. There are some devices that are supported by both. In this case the usbtouchscreen module should be given a chance to claim the device and usbhid should be used as a fallback. But usbhid ends up winning because it is in the initramfs and the usbtouchscreen module is not, so the usbtouchscreen module never gets loaded. This breaks support for some eGalax touch screens (it's a regression).
