Hmm, what is report mode 4? Some kind of multi touch mode?

What do you see if you install the Nextwindow USB config tool under
Windows (unfortunately doesn't work under Wine) and look in the mouse
tab? I guess you have a 4th option here.

I see this:  http://peter.korsgaard.com/nw.png

argh. now you made me use vista! ;)

Installed version 2.8 today, it offers three modes in his interface: None, HID Mouse and "USB Digitiser". The last one was selected when I started into Vista. There's an extra checkbox "Multi-Touch reporting" that was not ticked.

The different combinations and the reporting mode output of nwtool:
USB Digitizer - multi-touch not ticked: reporting mode 4
USB Digitizer - multi-touch ticked: reporting mode 3
USB HID Mouse - multi-touch not ticked: reporting mode 1
USB HID Mouse - multi-touch ticked: reporting mode 9
None - multi-touch not ticked: reporting mode 0
None - multi-touch ticked: reporting mode 8

For reporting mode 4 and 3, the events are Z/Rx + touch
For reporting mode 1 and 9, the events are ABS_X/Y and left button
For reporting mode 0 and 8, no events are sent (unsurprisingly)

So it seems the only difference between our two models is the default reporting mode - assuming that 4 is the default, we've had this thing for a year without doing much with it but it could well be that someone set it earlier or one of the HP Touchsmart software pieces changed it.

OK, great - Let me know what you find. I did hack something up with
evtouch, but would like to move to evdev instead.
I'm willing to work on getting evdev to handle multi screen touchscreen
setups better if needed, I just need a bit of guidance on how it should
be handled.

replying to your email right now.

Cheers,
  Peter
