The panel mount screens marketed for point-of-sale use all seem to have
have USB connections for the touch screen part. They are pretty slim
with documentation, however.

Example product:

Do these just work "out of the box" with Linux, for some major distro
like Debian or Slackware? I know other touch screens do work, like the
one on my Thinkpad, where I find it useful about once in a blue moon.

Context: I'm looking at panel mount monitors, for a custom mount, and
the sizes I'm interested in overlap with the POS market. So if I were
getting one, maybe I'd want to use the full features it comes with. (And
USB attached means I could easily only activate it when useful.)
