ibm touchscreen xorg

Hi,

I have an IBM transnote that I have been playing around on. I tried before to get the touch screen to work with no joy, but I though I would give it another go. The device is a microtouch device, and it appears to be able to use the mutouch driver - at least when starting X it doesn't complain about this driver. The device does work because I can see output from /dev/ttyS0. I have been on the transnote wiki where other people have been able to get the touch screen working but nothing is working for me.

I have found howtos that work with XFree86 but it apparently works with xorg too, which is what I am using, this one is the most concise; http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview...d=pos1R1002913. I understand that xorg requires a pointer device so a touch screen would need to be a secondary pointer device, I am not sure if this requires extra setup?

If anyone can help me it would be much appreciated, here is my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file
