As long as the touchscreen driver generates button down, motion, and
button up events, it should work with fvwm.
I don't understand the part about 'hook'ing the button being depressed.
Fvwm depresses the button when it sees the button down event, but considers
the button clicked when the button is released and a little time passes.
