You'll need to install the Ubuntu kernel source first (see here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile ) Then, change to the source directory and use patch -p1 < touchscreen.patch to apply. After that, rebuild the kernel once and install it (I've used the "old-fashioned Debian way" described on that page).

Note: around line 218 in hid-cando.c, you might need to change
ret = hid_hw_start(hdev,HID_CONNECT_DEFAULT);
to
ret = hid_hw_start(hdev,HID_CONNECT_DEFAULT|HID_CONNECT_ HIDINPUT_FORCE);

This somewhat depends on the base kernel version you're using - I had to add the FORCE flag for 2.6.31.9.

awesome, thanks a lot. i was tearing my hair out messing around with git. i'll start over with a fresh install and try it with 2.6.31-9

so, now, just applaying this patch to kernel, we get dual touch working withot 3rd party hidtouch and netbook-launcher patching, yeah?

ps and, if it is not difficult for you, please upload separate patch file somewhere.. i just can't understand, from where to where copy (never patching anything before)

make is giving this output:

drivers/hid/hid-cando.c: In function ‘cando_probe’:
drivers/hid/hid-cando.c:217: error: ‘HID_CONNECT_’ undeclared (first use in this function)

i'm not getting the error after changing that line back to the default. here's hoping the rest goes well.

god i wish i was smarter.

Oops, sorry, I've just seen that there was an error in my post. There's no space to be supposed between HID_CONNECT_HIDINPUT_FORCE, it's all one word.

Basically, there's nothing to enable, it's there from the start. Now you just need some software that's able to use the new data - AFAICT in Lucid, you'll be able to use xf86-input-evdev and get two mouse cursors as soon as you touch the screen with two fingers.

here is my xorg.conf. what should i change?
package of evdev (xserver-xorg-input-evdev) is installed.
support of hid, evdev, cando dual touch are enabled in kernel.

I believe you can remove the entire "Cando Touchscreen" section. In fact, I don't even have an xorg.conf anymore, the entire configuration is done through HAL.
At first, the synaptics driver tried to handle my touchscreen and failed, but I've added the snippet from my earlier post to /etc/hal/fdi/policy/preferences.fdi. This switched the driver to evdev and it's working fine since.

Whenever i try to download the file, it downloads zero bytes. Can you possibly upload it elsewhere?

i'm suggesting to use this package.

in install.sh i added some debug info. i mean, while script is running, beside of work he is doing he writes what he is doing, that may be useful. and also i've added in that script check for /etc/X11/xorg.conf. if the file exists then script copies it as /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak and only then installs it's own xorg.conf.

because hidtouch is compiling without --prefix, which means that it's prefix is /usr/local and lib for xorg will lie in /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/input, i've updated xorg.conf too.

i've wanted to add some check for packages xorg-xserver-dev and build-essentials also. i mean, if there already are in system then don't run apt-get but i couldn't do it.
here is new package. download
