Nothing is preventing it from seizing other PS/2 ports, as far as I know. I believe it's working for me right now because the keyboard grabs the keyboard PS/2 port first, and then the liyitec driver grabs the rest of the ports, which, in my case, is only the psaux port which is connected to the liyitec screen.

I'm not sure. I'll find out what the touchscreen's response to the PS/2 GETID command is.

In a private mail to me, Vojtech Pavlik pointed out that lifebook.c is a PS/2 touch screen that does exactly this, and in only 136 lines of code. I'll see if I can adapt my existing serio driver to be a psmouse driver.
