Touchscreen works in Debian Lenny....kind of
 

I did a fresh install of Lenny on a XPC500 Point of Sale PC. Here are some stats on the touch panel portion:

lsusb:
Bus 003 Device 002: ID 0eef:0001 D-WAV Scientific Co., Ltd eGalax TouchScreen

cat /proc/bus/usb/devices:
T: Bus=03 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=01 Cnt=01 Dev#= 2 Spd=1.5 MxCh= 0
D: Ver= 1.10 Cls=00(>ifc ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS= 8 #Cfgs= 1
P: Vendor=0eef ProdID=0001 Rev= 1.00
S: Manufacturer=eGalax Inc.
S: Product=Touch
C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=a0 MxPwr= 44mA
I:* If#= 0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 1 Cls=03(HID ) Sub=00 Prot=00 Driver=usbhid
E: Ad=81(I) Atr=03(Int.) MxPS= 8 Ivl=10ms

So I grabbed the egalax module from the manufacturer website, ran the little install and calibration utility, and everything is working great. BUT, after about 3 minutes or so, the mouse pointer will still track your finger, it just stops "clicking". I am using gnome, so if I do Alt+F1 on the keyboard, it will highlight "Application", but then will not let you scroll through the menu using the keyboard. If I do a ctrl+alt+bksp and restart X, it (the touchscreen and keyboard) will function correctly again for a couple minutes, then revert to being weird.

Anybody have any ideas? Here is the xorg.conf file for good measure. I figure its gotta be X trying to read multiple mice or getting confused about the events being sent by the touchscreen?
