Binary package hint: xserver-
To summarize what has been discovered is that the CF-29 has an uncommon multiplexed PS2 type of connection that the touchscreen/
There is no simple solution, as far that i know - you have to be a bit of a Linux expert as well as a programmer and know how to write a patch for the CF-29 hardware and then patch your kernel and configure X Windows to get it working .
It can be done though - Emperor Linux is one distribution that has it working but they will only pre-install it on a CF-29, which is quite costly. There is also another company that has a CF-29 touchscreen driver for sale for $149.00.
To the best of my knowledge the evdev module does not work with the Fujitsu LBPS/2 Touchpad/
At any rate, here is a short list from my experience with the touchscreen;
- evtouch is not compatible with fglrx, you will need to use the OS radeon module
- configuration is done through hal; see previous post for the rules file

It looks to me that this needs to be done to get the touchscreen to work:

To configure it, the max min numbers must be changed in increments , 5 or 10..
Then reboot.
A time consuming and fiddly task, since the configuration tool does not handle it according to a lot of forums.
