USB Touch screen

[brantje]

Hello,
I got an 7" touch screen from my dad.
The output is usb, so i connected it to the pi.
Did an lsusb

Output:

Terminal

xbian@xbian:~# sudo lsusb
[sudo] password for xbian:
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 0eef:0001 D-WAV Scientific Co., Ltd eGalax TouchScreen
xbian@xbian:~#

I searched a bit, seems the thing is well kown in the touch screen world.

The monitor is an 700YYV-P1 TFT LCD Monitor with VGA and AV inputs

At the moment i'm using RCA, need a converter from HDMI to vga.

Research shows that touchkitusb and evdev module's are needed in the kernel, which are currently missing.

Any tips / hints / patches how i can get this to work?

If we can add touchscreen support to xbian, then xbian would be the best choise to use it in a car
