That's what I'm working on currently. I'm trying to register touch inputs and pass them to xdotool as mouse movements. I found /dev/input/event1 but not that useful...
In fact, you
can run Firefox without VNC (I'll post a video soon); combine that with InkVT (small terminal + tactile keyboard), and resize the on-screen image a little bit by changing the resolution parameters passed to FBInk, and you'll have a (primitive) touch experience that you can pass touch/mouse inputs with xdotool via InkVT.
But I hope that I'm going to be able to register touch inputs; it would be so awesome! At this point, you'd just have to add a virtual keyboard program for X and you'd be good to go... Just an entire operating system on your Kobo, wouldn't that be absolutely amazing?
I'm working on it...
