If the touchscreen issue is not a kernel problem check your /etc/X11/Xserver
script (from xserver-(kdrive-)common package) if it has support for your device.

The acern30.conf defines that the linux_2.6.14.bb is used. So unless something
else overrides this (your local.conf or the distro maybe) you will get 2.6.14
which applies a lot of patches for the n30. You would have to check
linux_2.6.14.bb what these patches are and where they come from.

Just add them to the linux kernel bb. The default linux_2.6.14.bb is a good
example how additional machine dependent patches are applied.

I don't think there are special needs for OpenMoko, its a setting in the distro
definition you use. angstrom-2008.1-legacy.conf should contain the bits doing
the right thing.
