Yes, It should work, at least on the mini, because /dev/input/event0 seems to be the non-existent touchpad, I don't know if glo, aura and aura-hd have this event interface. If somebody with a Touch can test it:
# cat /dev/input/event0 > kobo-refresh
(now press one time the hardware home button)
and share here this file we can test it with other devices
When I arrive at home I'll post the bin file to refresh my mini, but keep in mind that this file contains info about the touchscreen and don't work with resolutions higher than 600x800
