[ubuntu-in] Touchscreen driver on Gutsy

[Sanjay Bhangar]

Hey,

Was trying to install a (cheapish Chinese) touchscreen device on Ubuntu (the
device works in windows), and the linux driver that came on the CD failed
(when running 'make') . Am posting my command line outputs below - if anyone
has any experience with this, please do let me know - thanks - it's a
Liyitec USB Touchscreen device -- usb id etc. below -- searched online but
couldn't find anything - to be honest, we figured out a workaround so I'm
not actively hacking on this, but would be nice to solve so if anyone knows
anything, please do be ping me --

(The touchscreen device is Bus 004 Device 003: ID 1391:1000 )

Sorry for the long output -- if it makes sense to anyone, please do tell ...
:-)
Thanks
