Ours have barcode scanners, some serial, some USB.

You should not need any kernel drivers to enable touch screen input
through the serial port. You just need the elographics driver for
X.org (which should be part of the core distribution).
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Touchscreen"
Driver "elographics"
Option "Device" "/dev/ttyS1"
Option "MinX" "412"
Option "MaxX" "3689"
Option "MinY" "551"
Option "MaxY" "3535"
Option "UntouchDelay" "10"
Option "ReportDelay" "10"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
EndSection
Sorry for not getting back to you sooner.
