has anyone tried the TFP401 to get the touchscreen to work with ubuntu?

looks like it can drive the lcd off of the hdmi port and bring touch events back via USB.
not a pretty solution, but maybe a quick way to get some progress?
what i am uncertain about is the DSI cable being a match.
Probably not. Simon isn't that interested in graphics support, so unless it was a straightforward drop-in fix, wouldn't have been able to justify putting much time into it. However, someone has recently posted that they have gotten the screen working on debian linux (and should be applicable to ubuntu as well), but touch is not supported yet.
