Comment 51 for bug 317127

I just tested the patch from Ramaddan. It works very well on my car-pc. The procedure was like mentioned above by hackeron, but with some additions. Here is the complete list of what I did. From any folder (I like to use /tmp, as that is flushed clean on every boot) do this:

cd /tmp
sudo apt-get build-dep xserver-xorg-input-evtouch
apt-get source xserver-xorg-input-evtouch
cd xf86-input-evtouch-0.8.7/
rm debian/patches/02-buttonless-device.patch
wget -O debian/patches/02-buttonless-device.patch http://launchpadlibrarian.net/26529094/02-buttonless-device.patch
echo 02-buttonless-device.patch >> debian/patches/series
dpkg-buildpackage
sudo dpkg -i ../xserver-xorg-input-evtouch_0.8.8-0ubuntu3_i386.deb

That exact procedure worked very well for me. You can copy all of these lines and paste them in your console in one go. Press enter on the last line if you do not get the last enter in your copy, and then restart your X to make it work.
