I took a 6-year old computer with a builtin touchscreen (not a notebook)
that had Ubuntu 7.10 installed on it, and it had the touchscreen
working, though I guess it had needed some work to set it up correctly.
I installed 12.04 LTS on it, wiping out the old installation. The
touchscreen didn't work out of the box. It definitely should. It's
absurd that on a machine that has a touchscreen for which support has
been available for 6 years, the touchscreen is not enabled by default
and working just out of the box.
Additionally, I followed literally step-by-step the guide at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touchscreen to configure the touch screen (it is
a shame that one has to do all that stuff manually in the first place),
and I ended up with a machine that won't boot.
