Sau Dan Lee's Lifebook touchscreen ;) The data processing seems to be trivial, but I don't have any idea how to detect it. And without being able to explicitly control binding for a specific serio port its hard to do drivers for hardware that we can't autodetect. We just have to assume that device behind a port is of specific type and when there are many ports its usually wrong.
