Penmount Touch Input Devices Driver

Hi.
I have a Kohjinsha SH6 which has a touch screen with the Penmount PM6000
chipset. I am unable to calibrate the touch screen, and input seems
rather erratic.
The calibration programs (gCalib, std-calib) in
http://www.penmount.com/Download/Driver/PenMount/PenMount%20Ubuntu%207.10%20Driver%20V2.0.1.tar
does not react to touch screen events at all. The penmount driver in
that package does not load at all:
(II) LoadModule: 'penmount'
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input//penmount_drv.so
(II) Module penmount: vendor='X.Org Foundation'
compiled for 4.3.99.902, module version = 1.3.0
Module class: X.Org XInput Driver
ABI class: X.Org XInput driver, version 0.5
(EE) module ABI major version (0) doesn't match the server's version (2)
(II) UnloadModule: 'penmount'
(II) Unloading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input//penmount_drv.so
(EE) Failed to load module 'penmount' (module requirement mismatch, 0)
The xserver-xorg-input-penmount driver from Ubuntu loads OK, but
calibration is still unresponsive.
Versions:
Ubuntu ver. 8.04
Linux kernel ver. 2.6.24-16-generic
xserver-xorg ver. 7.3+10ubuntu10
xserver-xorg-input-penmount ver. 1.2.1-2
Penmount driver details from /proc/bus/input/devices:
I: Bus=0003 Vendor=14e1 Product=6000 Version=0001
N: Name='DIALOGUE INC PenMount USB'
P: Phys=usb-0000:00:1d.3-2/input0
S: Sysfs=/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.3/usb4/4-2/4-2:1.0/input/input2
Do I have to wait for penmount to release a new driver, or is there a
way of compiling their version with the current x.org? Some source code
is available in the tar file referenced above.

Penmount Touch Screen Driver

The PenMount team also developed device drivers for other platforms. PenMount P2-02 & P2-04 Controllers use Microchip controller, which is a capacitive sensing IC designed for AMT Projected Capacitive Input (PCI) touch panels and other projected capacitive touch panels. Download input device drivers or install DriverPack Solution software for driver scan and update. The PenMount device driver supports two types of device type configurations: mouse and digitizer. The moues device type is compatible to all Windows operating systems, while the digitizer device only works on systems that supports Tablet PC Input. In general, installing the PenMount controller as mouse device is recommended.
