hi again,

meanwhile I have implement a solution for linux and the X11 server. The solution is pretty easy:
Since version X11R7.7 (X.Org 1.12.2) touch events are supported from X server over the XInput interface. Jogl use the Xinput interface for all input events already so there was only to implement some configuration and event handling. Works like a charm.

If the jogl community is interested in this I can contribute it to github repository as described in the jogamp wiki.
