Cannot Load Evtouch Module for Touch Screen

I cannot seem to load the evtouch module I need for the touch screen on my laptop.  This is the error I get in the Xorg.0.log file in /var/log - any ideas?  Is there a way I can recompile this for the cuurent xorg server version?

(II) LoadModule: "evtouch"
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input//evtouch_drv.so
(II) Module evtouch: vendor="Kenan Esau"
    compiled for 4.3.99.902, module version = 0.8.8
    Module class: X.Org XInput Driver
    ABI class: X.Org XInput driver, version 2.1
(EE) module ABI major version (2) doesn't match the server's version (4)
(II) UnloadModule: "evtouch"
(II) Unloading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input//evtouch_drv.so
(EE) Failed to load module "evtouch" (module requirement mismatch, 0)

Re: Cannot Load Evtouch Module for Touch Screen

I got the touchscreen working by using the evtouch_drv.so from the latest Ubuntu distribution and now it works OK.

Re: Cannot Load Evtouch Module for Touch Screen

I have patched the evtouch source using Ubuntu diff file for this package (and other modifications to make it work with hal). It is loaded correctly now, but it doesn't work. When I touch the screen with the pen the mouse pointer goes to the upper left or down right corner. I made the calibration with ubuntu live and it works under ubuntu. Do you have the same problem with Arch?

EDIT: nevermind, I tried Ubuntu's binary and it worked, then I realized I forgot another debian patch. Adding this patch to the package I've made I got a working driver.
