I did a fresh install of Ubuntu 9.04 amd64 on this same computer. Then I did apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-evtouch Then edited /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty/50-touchkit??.fdi to reflect the hardware I'm using. Reboot and now works as desired. swapx=1 in this fdi file re-verted the x axis to normal. I won't winge about calibrate_touchscreen not being perfect ... just having the x axis in the right direction is happiness. *note: in order for the changes to the .fdi file to reflect on lshal, you must restart the computer!!* hot-plugging the usb port makes no effect.
BTW all of these other distribution installs had identical inverted x-axis that were seemingly without a fix: Ubuntu 10.04 netbook remix, Ubuntu 10.04 x86_64 desktop, ubuntu 8.04 amd64 desktop, puppy linux 5.1, slitaz linux I will try again this recipe on the ubuntu 10.04 netbook remix partition I have on that same computer ... just to make sure it does or does not work.
