IBM 4840 Touchscreen w/ SuSE 10.2 ?


Hello folks.

I have an IBM SurePOS model 4840 POS machine I acquired running SuSe 10.2.

It's a point of sale system I have converted into a web-surfing box. Works great with a mouse and such, but it would be reeeealy awesome if I could get the touchscreen to work. Sadly, SuSE doesn't support it out of the box, and I can't find anyone on the internet that has tried to make it work. I was wondering if anyone knows of a driver or how to configure it or something.

I've searched everywhere, and since IBM has been moving stuff around, most of the links I find pointing to help are dead.

Now, I know the touchscreen works under XP perfectly, but we all know windows needs to go die in a fire sometimes.

Any help/guidance would be great.
Thanks again!
