[Voyage-linux] USB touchscreen support

[Ted Hess]

I recently updated my Voyage Linux ALIX box to the latest 0.9.1 release (3.8 kernel) and found the USB display touch screen was non-functional. It has been completely functional prior to this upgrade. The display is fine, the eGalaxy/DAV device shows up in the USB tree however, the input device was not in /dev/bus/input/devices any longer (udev rules did not help). Turns out  mainstream kernel support is needed for these devices now in the newer kernels as the older xorg drivers have been removed from Wheezy.

[Solution] I pulled the lastest Voyage kernel source (3.8.13-12.5_1) and reconfigured it with USB touchscreen input devices enabled. Using  Config-3.8.13-voyage and adding option as follows:

Device Drivers >> Input device support >> Touchscreens >> USB Touchscreen Driver (set to 'M').

Rebuild, install ... working touchscreen once again!!

Please add this to future kernels -- thanks.
