Hi, after doing "apt-get source xserver-xorg-input-evtouch", I get the following output: apt-get source xserver-xorg-input-evtouch Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Picking 'xf86-input-evtouch' as source package instead of 'xserver-xorg-input-evtouch' NOTICE: 'xf86-input-evtouch' packaging is maintained in the 'Git' version control system at: git://git.debian.org/git/pkg-xorg/driver/xserver-xorg-input-evtouch Need to get 326 kB of source archives.
