I have an exopc slate that I'm trying to use with Linux, and have had no luck for the last year.

12.04 doesn't make it better - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/utouch/+bug/801988 has all the details (for the W500, but it's the same bug). Touching the screen with two fingers causes X to blow up. Touching with one finger at the wrong place causes X selection to lock-up for a few minutes. I'm almost tempted to go to Windows 7... I hope it gets fixed soon.

Meego 1.2 is able to use the touchscreen without multitouch (but is otherwise unusable as a distribution).

Does anyone have good experience with any ubuntu distribution on an eGalax / DWAV capacitive multitouch screen?
