Yes and no: the X server interprets single-touch input as pointer events. It is not exactly like a mouse, since a mouse is a relative device and usually has buttons, a touch is an absolute device that does not have buttons. Since the interpretation of war input events is done in the X server, you can look at the linux input source for any touchscreen for examples. Your best bet is to follow the type B protocol documented in the kernel sources. -- Stephen M.
