I have the same problem (T1132N and linux) and already did a huge amount
of research on it. Some of the correspondence can be found here:

Also I wrote up this summary:

I have a very specific issue found in a series of notebooks (Gigabyte
T1132N) which I would like to resolve. It seems like the device
enumeration of the USB Host Controller is failing to find the attached
touchscreen. Through windows I got most of the information like the
vendor/product ID (2087 0b03) and host controller where the device is
attached at. The host controller is recognized in linux and all the
attached devices other than the touchscreen work flawlessly. Also the
driver for the specific type of touchscreen exists but the device is
just not found.

To start the enumeration manually I tried creating a module using the
Host Controller API but as I understand modules can only use the USB
Core API. (Compilation didn't work) The USB Core API doesn't support
enumeration.

Using a USB sniffer in windows I received some output that suggests that
the touchscreen might be turned off (power state D2) but I can't figure
out how to influence power states in usb devices in linux.

Attached you will find the output of dmesg from kernel 2.6.35.13 (amd64)
compiled with the CONFIG_USB_DEBUG option enabled.


Here some things I already know/did:

Windows indicates that the touchscreen is connected to the same host
controller as the USB Wheel mouse and the Card reader so that is usb2.

Unfortunately I can't unplug the touchscreen because it is attached to
the notebook. And opening the notebook would probably void the warranty.

I tried multiple kernel versions (all amd64):
2.6.32-5
2.6.35.13
3.0.0-17
3.2.0-0.bpo.1
3.2.0-24
I tried distributions debian and kubuntu (oneiric & precise)

The notebook also has a touchpad (which is working flawlessly) in
addition to the touchscreen. But this doesn't even come from the same
vendor nor is it attached to the usb port.

--------------------------------------------------


The guys from the usb mailing list say that this is not a usb issue. It's more 
like the touch screen is not even connected to the usb host controller. So 
there needs to be some kind of software switch to make it visible to the host 
controller in the first place. One last thing that I want to test is if the 
touchscreen is visible in other windows versions than the preinstalled one. (I 
assume not)
