I did not have a successful patch, I was using ChatGPT4.o to help find potential solutions and we tried about 5 different kernel versions looking to find a kernel that supported this hardware in the past. I think we were in the 5.4.xx and I stopped trying and thought others may be able to help via a bug report. The computer I am trying to get the touchscreen working is about 15 years old,, started on Win7, moved to Win10, can't move to Win11, so I changed it over to Linux, POP!. The only thing not working is the touchscreen. Love Linux/POP! but miss my touchscreen! Figured with the end-of-life for Win10 others would be migrating. The Sony hardware has been great for all these years, not ready to let it go. Turned it into an AI ingestion engine for my privateGPT system. Thanks for getting back to me. I don't have more info. I was hoping to get a driver for the latest kernel release for me and others extending the life of their old Win10 PC.

This device is widely present in Windows 10-era all-in-one PCs, including the Sony VAIO VPCL2290X and other OEMs. The Linux kernel detects the device via `lsusb` and binds it to `hid-generic` or `usbhid`, but no input events are exposed. Adding the following line to `usbtouchscreen.c` enables proper input event registration and restores full touchscreen function: ```c { USB_DEVICE(0x1926, 0x0bce), .driver_info = DEVTYPE_NEXTWINDOW }, This change has been manually tested with kernel 5.4 on Pop!_OS and confirmed to enable touch input successfully. Other similar NextWindow devices (like 1926:0003) are already supported by the driver, so this ID is likely an overlooked omission. With the transition away from Windows 10, many users are moving to Linux on legacy hardware. Including support for this device in Ubuntu would benefit a wide class of now-Linux-capable AIO PCs. Tested device: Vendor: NextWindow USB ID: 1926:0bce Host system: Sony VAIO VPCL2290X Please consider reinstating or adding support for this device. If a patch or DKMS module is preferred, I’m happy to contribute it.
