OpenSuSe on the CF-18, can't get TS calibrated?!

#1 Post by WittgensteinSergeant »

My TS is apparently un-calibrateable, whenever I do calibrate it with Xinput-Calibrator and save the stuff in a .conf file+reboot, it still won't work properly? It's acting like a touchpad for some reason. (can only move left-right)

What is your full CF-18 model number as stated in BIOS?

Calibration should be immediate, with the conf file for saving the settings permanently. Is it at least working right after calibration?

I'm not exactly how you would equate a left-right only movement to a touchpad since that would also indicate something wrong with the touchpad itself.

Anyway, do you already have an /etc/X11/xorg.conf file on your system?

If you mean a folder like that, yiss I do.

Touchpad is working fine though?

I mean, quite precisely, the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. Not /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d directory. If you have an xorg.conf file it may have conflicting sections with files you may have in the xorg.conf.d directory. If you do not have a xorg.conf file, this simplifies our troubleshooting.

Can you please explain to me exactly how only moving left-right equates to acting like a touchpad? I fear there may be some sort of language barrier here.

If you followed the instructions in Jeff's really cool thread here:
viewtopic.php?f=39&t=1960
...then you have created a file called:
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-calibration.conf
Can you show us the contents of this file? We'll do our best to help you.

Jeff, feel free to chime in, here. I've never owned a CF-18.

cheers!

It only moves side to side, not up or down. And when I calibrate the screen, it does the same.

Code: Select all

Section "InputClass"
Identifier "calibration"
MatchProduct "LBPS/2 Fujitsu LifeBook TouchScreen"
Option "Calibration" "73 891 1041 1041"
Option "SwapAxes" "0"
EndSection
