Well, First, thx to Robert Nelson, the patch for the touchscreen fix has been implemented :
https://github.com/RobertCNelson/linux-dev/commit/20c9c32e3443826d79ea01e17cbd2d6fa2c616ae Which means, that now, you don't need to implement it yourself :p , you just need to build the kernel and install it in your sdcard. Which means that soon, the fix will be implemented to each release of ubuntu/debian from Robert Nelson ! Also Will Kostelecky, the script to install the kernel, only work for a Robert Nelson image ( ubuntu/debian ) .
