reading the latest driver guide and programming guide from eGalax (now EETI btw.
www.eeti.com.tw ) it turns out that the newer devices should support the HID
format and report with that by default. those newer screens are handled by the
'usbhid' driver. have you tried loading that one before usbtouchscreen?

can you give an lsusb -vvv output?

in case the usbhid driver does not work, it's possible to put the touchscreen
into the non-HID operating mode and have to current code work again..it's easy
to code...but please try usbhid first...
