This document describes how to set up a touch screen input device under XFree86.

The examples given in this HOWTO concentrate on devices connected via the serial port i.e. /dev/ttyS0 or /dev/ttyS1. (Information about USB devices would be appreciated!)

2. Activating the device

3. Using touch screen and mouse in parallel

4. Configuration under XFree86 4
