Sorry, I jumped in to soon. I've just read your other post and have
realised you are in Karmic, so probably you even don't have xorg.conf
file and fdi file is the way to go, although you can stil use xorg.conf.

Maybe it is in too many locations. You can try just one, that is:
/usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor

and (a guess) 
<match key="info.product" contains="eGalax">
instead of
<match key="info.product" contains="eGalax Inc. USB TouchController">
