X does not support touch natively. What it does support is mouse emulation from the touch input. This also greatly limits how good you can make it.

Symbian didn't use X in any way. That was Maemo, used on the 770. But there were also some Symbian-based touch devices like the 5800 XpressMusic: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokia_5800_XpressMusic
