Adding a touchscreen monitor to Pearl 2

I am trying to connect a larger touch screen monitor to the Pearl 2. So far the issue that I have run into is that the touch screen monitor that I have indicates that it is plug n play, but is setup for windows and the Pearl 2 is Linux based and my touch screen monitor does not work. The monitor is fine, but no touch screen function. Is anyone using a touch screen monitor with a pearl 2? If so, which monitor are you using and/or how did you make it work? Thnks
