argh. now you made me use vista! ;)

Installed version 2.8 today, it offers three modes in his interface:
None, HID Mouse and "USB Digitiser". The last one was selected when I
started into Vista. There's an extra checkbox "Multi-Touch reporting"
that was not ticked.

The different combinations and the reporting mode output of nwtool:
USB Digitizer - multi-touch not ticked: reporting mode 4
USB Digitizer - multi-touch ticked: reporting mode 3
USB HID Mouse - multi-touch not ticked: reporting mode 1
USB HID Mouse - multi-touch ticked: reporting mode 9
None - multi-touch not ticked: reporting mode 0
None - multi-touch ticked: reporting mode 8

For reporting mode 4 and 3, the events are Z/Rx + touch
For reporting mode 1 and 9, the events are ABS_X/Y and left button
For reporting mode 0 and 8, no events are sent (unsurprisingly)

So it seems the only difference between our two models is the default
reporting mode - assuming that 4 is the default, we've had this thing
for a year without doing much with it but it could well be that someone
set it earlier or one of the HP Touchsmart software pieces changed it.
