Do you have the hardware specifications for the touch screen?  If 
so, they should describe everything.  If you do not have them, 
did you attempt to get them from the vendor of the device, or 
search for them on google perhaps?  That is the best way to 
obtain them likely.

Otherwise you'll have to reverse engineer it yourself.  Without 
the hardware specifications, nobody can easily answer your 
question without reverse engineering it themselves, because 
every piece of hardware will work differently.  If all 
touchscreens output the same data, then there would only need to 
be one driver, and you wouldn't need to write one.  ;o)

Beats me. X, Y, and pressure data? Have you talked to the hardware 
vendor? Have you captured incoming data from the com port to a file and 
tried to analyze it? Have you looked at the existing touch screen 
drivers in X for ideas?
