I don't get it. I thought the evtouch driver is a X input module. I cannot find evtouch driver package in Fedora and Moblin2 yum repository. ( Like the xserver-xorg-input-evtouch package in ubuntu ). In Fedora 10 and Moblin2, I cannot successfully compile evtouch source code from http://www.conan.de/touchscreen/evtouch.html.
