No, you're not disturbing me. Feel free to ask.
It just happens to be, that I added inputattach to Guix because I also
needed it for the touchscreen on my x200-t to work.
My current configuration has

===
(service inputattach-service-type
         (inputattach-configuration
	       (device "/dev/ttyS4")
	       (device-type "wacom")))
===

added to its services. Thats working for me.
If this does not fix the problem for you, than your touchscreen is
probably connected to another serial port:

- Use a tool of your choice to read the current text from one of the
  serial ports ("/dev/ttySxxx" where xxx is any number).
- Point on your display with your pen. If random characters start to pop
  up from the serial connection, this is the correct serial port.
- Replace your serial device with the one in my configuration.

Please note that this is a pretty adhoc approach that I added to Guix so
that it works for my setup, hoping that it could help others. When there
are issues or whishes concerning the documentation or if things just
don't work for you, please let me know.

Tim.
