I suspect that my laptop and your laptop use the same model of
touchscreen. I changed the device IDs in the current source code to
allow for my model, and the result was that it recognized the screen,
but the event device (which showed up!) gave nothing but garbage to
wacdump. I suspect that this means some more coding will need to be
done.
