@juan
you are awesome
heres what i did:
reinstalled the calibrate ts package in the repository
opened /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/50-eGalax.fdi
changed the max/min value (this took the longest to realize somethimg
obvious)
after restarting X 50 billion times here is the final file for
/usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/50-eGalax.fdi

____________________________________________________/code
the rotate needed to be clockwise
and i didnt swap x or y
the MAX abslt edge is is 2000 the min edge is 0
then i bumbed it inside so to give me some room to touch it.
Thanks so much for helping! i had no idea about those fdi files
good luck juan
