Thanks, regards,

Hi André,
I run two of these: Thinkpad x220t and Toshiba Z20t (with a screen that can
act as a tablet). I also experienced a working install on a Microsoft Surface
Pro 2 (but the keyboard and touchpad were very bad).

I have a Lenovo 700 and the touch screen works like a mouse it doesn't
rotate and you can't do finger gestures. I keep hoping a new kernel will
fix it but no luck so far.

I had to write some code to get screen rotation. I don't use finger gestures
so I can't say anything about that.
I mostly use the pen when using the touchscreen, but I can handwrite. I can
use my fingers as pointers but evolution is slow and my fingertips ahve not
yet become fine enough foe touchscreens :)

I would be happy to test the code if you have it. I tried a few things I
found online but nothing worked well it might turn the screen but input was
still the other direction things like that. The laptop had touch when I
bought it but that is not why I bought it if you know what I mean.

Here is my little coding. Nothing great: xrandr, xsetwacom, and a little
tcl/tk to link eveything.
The real code is at the end of the tcl script.
Now, it will depend on your machine. xsetwacom, obviously, works only with
wacom digitizer or wacom compatible digitizers.
The "TouchKontrol" part solves the problem of paltouch when writing. I could
not setup a palmrecognition so I simply turn of touch when I write. this
works only if your device has an "active pen".
