LinuxQuestions.org - Point of Sale and Touchscreen hell

Arg!!! I am driving myself nuts trying to figure out how to get a touchscreen working on an IBM POS (POINT OF SALE) and CentOS 6.3. Worked fine on Cent 5, but I guess since 6 doesn't use straight X (as I understand it), something changed and I can't seem to get this dude to work. In brief, I explicitly added the elo.ko module (insmod), I can see the module, and corresponding driver (elotouch) load ok in /var/log/messages and /var/log/Xorg.0.log, but it still doesn't work! I've added the 8250 uart option to boot for 8 total com ports, and regardless of what I assign, the touchscreen doesn't recognize touch. I do, weirdly, see it listed in the mouse settings in Xfce... Here's my system info,if ANYONE can help I'd be most obliged!!!

# This is the default, if you make this bigger yum won't see if the metadata
# is newer on the remote and so you'll "gain" the bandwidth of not having to
# download the new metadata and "pay" for it by yum not having correct
# information.
# It is esp. important, to have correct metadata, for distributions like
# Fedora which don't keep old packages around. If you don't like this checking
# interupting your command line usage, it's much better to have something
# manually check the metadata once an hour (yum-updatesd will do this).
