I agree...

Thanks Jeff.

It would have been a better post if that info was included in kodes post.

Thanks Jeff for being one of the few Linux gurus that takes the time to fully explain their posts about doing things in Linux. /end rant.

Sorry about that. I don't exactly assume everybody who reads me is a guru. I just wrongly assume that the meaning of what I am typing is obvious. I'm glad to help, anyway.

Great input, thank you Kode9er! I'll give it a try on my test box and report back. Best regards, Cleve

First line allows you to emulate a right-click by just keeping your pen in the same spot for one second. Otherwise it registers as a normal left-click tap or drag. The second line is to allow a few pixels movement while your pen is down so that it doesn't reset to normal left-click in case your hand isn't that of a surgeon and completely steady, or the touchscreen has a bit of fuzziness.

Very useful for me since I rely a lot on right clicking and context menus.

Thanks kode for posting this. It works okay on my CF-29MK4 running SolydX32.
Thank you Jeff for the clairification on where to paste the code.

This little P3 is running like a champ, and the touchscreen is now calibrated too!
Thanks Jeff

I use this thread all the time, and so I needed to bump it up closer to the top of the page, although I never could figure out how to do this in one terminal, I still use two...

Can I ask why?

Mainly because I'm crazy, and can NOT remember code. I'd rather cut and paste and just get it over with. The real reason is because I don't have a regular system with bookmarks in the browser. Every day's a new day.

The trick is to right click Copy the calibration data then do your nano /etc/X11/......99.....conf and then right click to paste. With nano you can right click P any place in the editor and it automagically lines up.
Do 30 or 40 more....you'll get it.

You could always redirect the output of xinput_calibrator directly into the file then clean it up afterwards. These commands are to create the xorg.conf.d directory and it will create the 99-calibration.conf file if it doesn't exist. Otherwise it will replace its contents with the new text.
Then edit the file to remove the few extra lines of nonsense on top and keep the config data. No more copy-paste.
