For everyone that has sent their lshal output to this bug, try the following:

$ lsusb
Find your vendor id and product id for the touchscreen.
$ modprobe usbtouchscreen
$ sudo sh -c "echo <vendor id> <product id> > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/usbtouchscreen/new_id"

e.g. From my lsusb, one of the entries is:
Bus 005 Device 002: ID 0483:2016 SGS Thomson Microelectronics Fingerprint Reader

So the vendor id is 0483, device id is 2016.

So the above command would become something like:
$ sudo sh -c "echo 0483 2016 > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/newfingerprintdriver/new_id"

Please report back if your touchscreen starts working.
