I have a hp touch-smart 610, and with ubuntu 11.10 everything works out of the box. I tried with the live cd to ubuntu 12.04 and sadly, the touch-screen don't work. I would like to install 12.04, but don't want to lose the touch-screen.

I have the same device on which I installed ub 12.04 (64 bits), I also asked a question about it a while ago. For me also the touchscreen does not work from the live CD. You need to install, then update the system, and then remove a certain section from a Xorg configuration file to make things "work".

See here my question and the solution: Mouse selects everything on its own

(I do not guarantee that it will work for you. Also I do not multitouch, just singletouch. The device should however be able to do multitouch.)

Looks like it was affected by this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/913164

Must be fixed in linux 3.2.0-24.37. Search the page for "3008" to get an additional info.

Same thing with 12.04 and LXDE, eeepc 701 with eGalaxy touchscreen, seems solved with the update in this ppa via Ubuntu Tweak: "xorg-edgers fresh X crack", which installed the package xserver-xorg-core 2:1.12.3+git20120709.
