Well I think X server should have MPX support now, so any single-touch screen will work for now (newer tablet pcs).

Otherwise, laptop mouse touch pads have multi-touch, but not commercial lcd screens yet. Many laptops (ie. eeepc) can use the mouse trackpad for zooming in applications like MS picture viewer.

For multi-touch surface, check this DIY solution out:
