Okay, so I installed Debian Squeeze on my Archos 70 Internet Tablet. It works really well, but I can't figure out how to right click...is there any way to get multitouch in Debian??
Thanks in advance!

Have you tried multiple fingers?
I'm so meta, even this acronym

Yup...it doesn't work...
[Edit] I converted to Sid, so I'm going to restart the tablet and see if anything changes lol

Could you... lspci, lshw and stuff like that?

lspci for some reason doesn't work - returns that /proc/bus/pci doesn't exist or something like that..
If it helps, I used this guide to set up the Debian boot.

I have a completely different touchscreen, so this may not help, but for mine, touching the screen and holding your finger down for a few seconds will emulate a right click. Alternatively, perhaps a command key (alt or control?) with the touch?

I tried touching and holding. Either that doesn't work or the touchscreen is too sensitive Since there is no physical keyboard, I haven't tried holding down Alt or Control, but I will try that (there is an onscreen keyboard with control, shift, alt, Function, etc.)

I think I might be able to solve it by assigning a keyboard shortcut to
xdotool click 3
.

This is now solved! For future reference:
I created a script with the following code:
#!/bin/bash
sleep 2;
xdotool click 3
The sleep 2 is because I only have a virtual keyboard on this device and I need to therefore move the mouse pointer to the button (which kind of defeats the purpose )
I then bound that script to a keybinding (F12 in my case). I can now right click on my tablet
Marking thread solved!

hello
please explanation your answer :
where you put your script ?in which folder or place ?
I write your script in one file and execute it from terminal in super user mode but say : "xdotool click 3 :not found"
thanks

^ depends on how you execute the script. you can navigate to the directory it is in, then do './SCRIPTNAME' or 'bash SCRIPTNAME'. you can also move it to a directory which is in your path. do 'echo $PATH' to see these directories. if it is in such a directory you should be able to execute it by simply typing in the script name.
