touchscreen

I have a Sitronix ST9RM01 touchscreen that I'm trying to get working with Ubuntu 12.04.

The touchscreen is apparently recognized by Linux and X - the hid_multitouch module is loaded, and lsinput and xinput both list the touchscreen as an input device - but touching the screen does absolutely nothing, and xinput test shows no events.

The same touchscreen works just fine in Windows.

How can I troubleshoot from here? Any suggestions?
