touch screen API resources?

Without knowing more about what you're aiming to do, it's hard to know whether you'd be looking at accessing the kernel driver interface directly (under /dev/input/ I expect) or providing an alternate input method at the X or Wayland level to use existing desktops with their respective accessibility features. Each has a different way of doing things.

Actually, I'm not really sure how my code should link in to the rest of the system and the other apps. The other BSI implementations I know about run on Android, Fire OS, and iOS. None of these are going to be the same as a "normal" Linux system, so I can't just copy their approaches.

It appears that Squeekboard uses D-Bus, which seems like a promising approach. Also, it might be possible to leverage Squeekboard in some manner (e.g., pretending to be an add-on hardware keyboard). Does D-Bus seem like a reasonable starting point?
