Linux Mint 19 + Panasonic Toughbook CF-19 = touchscreen calibration issue

[ant-tv]

Hello

My first ever in 5+ years question about Linux Mint.

So. Until last week I have LMDE2 on my CF-19 laptop. Everything works perfectly. Without any questions.
Then I updated to the LMDE3, and in a day to LM 19 Cinnamon.

So the problem occurred.

The touchscreen does not calibrate.

How I have tried to calibrate my touchscreen:

Code: Select all

$ xinput_calibrator --list
Device "Fujitsu Component USB Touch Panel" id=9

$ xinput_calibrator 
Calibrating standard Xorg driver "Fujitsu Component USB Touch Panel"
	current calibration values: min_x=0, max_x=65535 and min_y=0, max_y=65535
	If these values are estimated wrong, either supply it manually with the --precalib option, or run the 'get_precalib.sh' script to automatically get it (through HAL).
	--> Making the calibration permanent <--
  copy the snippet below into '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-calibration.conf' (/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/ in some distro's)
Section "InputClass"
	Identifier	"calibration"
	MatchProduct	"Fujitsu Component USB Touch Panel"
	Option	"MinX"	"4379"
	Option	"MaxX"	"64068"
	Option	"MinY"	"1813"
	Option	"MaxY"	"57279"
	Option	"SwapXY"	"0" # unless it was already set to 1
	Option	"InvertX"	"0"  # unless it was already set
	Option	"InvertY"	"0"  # unless it was already set
EndSection

I'll provide the screenshots a bit later.


so, then I copied the snippet even in two places:

Code: Select all

$sudo mcedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-calibration.conf
$sudo mcedit /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-calibration.conf

then I reboot the system.

Nothing changed.
When I tap with a stylus in upper half of the touchscreen the cursor appeared lower from the place of tap, in the lower half - up to 3cm from the place of tap.

tap with a stylus on a target, cursor appears in another position

tap with a stylus on a target, cursor appears in another position

Any suggestions how to calibrate the touchscreena are welcome

Hello, I hope this is going to help you, I found it in the url providen. This works this way. First run the script, it will give you the configuration for the 98-screen-blah blah inside xorg conf directory. The directory is listed by the script, but the /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ worked fine for me (Running Mint 19 Tara Mate x32)
