Life's Journey is not to arrive safely at the grave in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways totally worn-out shouting 'Woo Hoo! What a ride!

Motorsports - the only real sport. If it doesn't have a motor, it is just a game.

There is always something waiting at the end of the road, if you are not willing to see what it is, you probably shouldn't be out there in the first place.

This after [F9] set to defaults? I would expect auto setting for default.

[F9] is "Optimized" settings. In my quest to get the TS calibrated, I have previously set the BIOS to "Default" settings, it did change the TS setting to"Auto" and then the calibrator found no devices to play with. I will try it again.

Set the BIOS to "Default" settings by way of the "Exit" menu, "Load default settings" , rebooted twice and here are the results:

morgan@morgan-CF-30Mint19:~$ xinput_calibrator

morgan@morgan-CF-30Mint19:~$ xinput_calibrator -v

morgan@morgan-CF-30Mint19:~$

I am seriously thinking that maybe the BIOS update to V3.00L16 will help. This was a government of Alberta unit. Even though it does not have 3 digits on the end of the BIOS version is there a possibility that the BIOS was modified?

[F9] used to be set to defaults. I never read the fine print since. :)

Looks like this Mint doesn't use xorg.conf.d.

So it's either make a directory or use /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-yada yada.

In the olden days we used to make a directory...Usually it was Mint.

xinput_calibrator --list

jay@jaymint18 ~ $ xinput_calibrator --list
Device "Fujitsu Component USB Touch Panel" id=10

Do you have a LiveUSB of anything....that's how I test things anymore.

Don't know about the bios.

Keep your stick on the ice. :D (Red Green videos)

I just noticed something.

Run xinput_calibrator with no sudo.

Sorry for the late reply. No sudo = no difference. It seems to be the version of Mint I set up in a CF-30Mk3 that is causing the problem. I made a Live USB stick with a snapshot of MX-18 that you uploaded for me . Calibrated the TS no problem, but when I booted back into Mint the same problems were there. I made no changes to the CF-31Mk3 when I went from MX to Mint. So, I am in the process of installing MX-18. Will post on how things went.
