Raspberry pi touchscreen

I have some touchscreen(s) at home and I want to get one working on my raspberry pi. But the problem is that I must recompile the kernel. I followed this tutorial (http://engineering-diy.blogspot.be/2013/02/raspberry-pi-raspbian-xbmc-and-egalax-7.html?m=1). I downloaded the kernel but I don't know how to find the lib folder on my SD card. If I place the kernel in the lib folder, the raspberry pi boots up but the mouse and the keyboard freezes.

Where can I find the /lib folder of my rpi?

To awnser your question: The lib folder is at the root of your SD card. You say you can't find it but you did place the kernel image in it? Seems contradicting :)

I wanted to install the same touschscreen. Use this website: http://engineering-diy.blogspot.nl/2013/01/adding-7inch-display-with-touchscreen.html

The following files should be replaced:
- kernel.img
- kernel7.img
- bootcode.bin
- /lib/firemwire
- /lib/modules
- /opt/vc

When you put your SD card in your computer you should see the boot partition and the big partition (of 2+gb depends on your sd card).

In the boot partition you place: the kernel, kernel7.img and bootcode.bin
In the big partition you should see the folders:
- bin
- boot
- dev
- etc
- home
- lib
and more..

Here you navigate to /lib and here you place the firmware and modules. In /opt you place the vc folder.

Good luck!

Edit
I created a repos where you can find all files you need: de-rpi2
