Hi, Russ, Sorry for the delay in replying- was working yesterday!
My model is Eee PC 1201N. It is fairly old now, but works well with

I appreciate that you are probably looking for something newer, but this
does all I need.
HTH.

Russ,
By the way, to your original question, a few more resources:
https://wiki.debian.org/Mobile/
https://wiki.debian.org/TabletAndTouchScreen
Both of which have some additional links.

https://lists.debian.org/ - there seems to be a debia
