Package: xserver-xorg-input-evtouch Version: 0.8.7-2 Severity: normal
The source README with this package indicates that the author knows the calibration utility does not work, and indeed it does not. First, a required pixmap file (/usr/share/xf86-input-evtouch/empty_cursor.xbm) is not installed in a place that the utility can find it. Moving it to / (!) addresses that problem, but then with current xorg I could not surmount the authorization issues required to get the thing to run using its wacky socket and xinit strategy. There is an alternative calibration utility, which works for any event input device, and prints the Min/Max X/Y values. It runs as a normal X client and requires manual intervention to paste its output into xorg.conf, but it is reliable and simple. It is downloadable at http://linux.chapter7.ch/touchkit/calibrator.c, but unfortunately there is no copyright notice or license in that file. It is very probably free software, given that it is widely distributed with the Linux usb-touchkit, but I can't say for sure.
