I'm wanting to get a new Lenovo with a touch screen. I'm primarily a linux user and am curious if there are touch screen support plans in the near future planned?

TIA

We could separate this question into three parts: (even after such a long time)

1) Does the VirtualBox program on the host work with a touchscreen?
Answer: yes it does. Next.

2) Can guests have a virtual touchscreen through emulation by mouse/trackpad?
Answer: I don't see any option for that. There's emulation of USB tablets, but I think this refers to Wacom-style digitizers.

3) Can touches from the host touchscreen be passed through to a guest?
Answer: yes, but they will become simple mouse clicks (essentially emulating a mouse using a touchscreen), unless [2] is implemented.

So, can we please have the second one? :)
