I found the same things you did; no touchscreen and the wireless doesn't work.<br>
<br>The manufacturer provides Linux drivers for the Wireless, but they don't work. ndiswrapper also didn't help with this card.<br><br>As to the touchscreen - it's detected by the kernel and X, but simply doesn't work. I've been meaning to cat the event file and see if it's sending anything at all. One report on the internet with the same hardware says that they upgraded to a <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://kernel.org">kernel.org</a> kernel and got random keystrokes with that kernel...<br>
<br>So if I may ask, where did you get yours from?<br><br>Daniel Foote. <br></div></div><br>
