Comment 8 for bug 977255

For me the same problem. After installing the driver the computer becomes unresponsive .

I installed xf86-input-nextwindow 0.3.3 precise via ppa, no problems there. But after installing nwfermi-0.6.5.0_amd64.deb and rebooting my system got stuck. I had to go to recovery mode, go to root shell and uninstall nwfermi with apt-get. After that I continued with normal boot and the touchscreen was working, allthough the screen resolution was low and I was no able to login. After rebooting the system works as normal, but without touchscreen functionality.

Below my Xorg.0.log.
