I believe I did an 'apt get' in a terminal, but can't remember for sure. It was a few very hectic months back when I set up the ssd in the CF-30Mk3.

I've been getting single packages from "debian package name" and installing with gdebi.

https://packages.debian.org/sid/utils/xinput-calibrator

Just for grins, go into synaptic and completely remove then re-install calibrator.

Then run it from the Mint menu.

I'm thinking a clean install might be in order for your new machine. Nice piece of kit.

A battery pull reset might be beneficial.....just the main battery.

Hey, do you have a 99-calibration file someplace for the CF-30? Like maybe in /etc/X11?????

If so delete it...

After doing a complete uninstall than reinstall through synaptic there is not change. Ran xinput_calibrator from the menu, (open menu, type 'cali' and hit enter) with no change.

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 "MaxX" "62532"

Option "InvertX" "0" # unless it was already set

That is what I am thinking as well. If that does not work than maybe a BIOS update.

Thanks. I think it is almost a full load, missing the smart card reader. I might put a rubber kb on it.

Okay, I deleted the 99-calibration file from usr/share/Xll/xorg.config.d, nothing in etx/X11/xorg.conf.d.

Running from the menu, no change:

When you say battery pull reset, you mean no main power, pull the battery then cycle the power button until the stupid gets drained out of the unit?

I am doing this while the BIOS touchscreen setting is set to "Touchscreen mode". If set to "Auto" or "Tablet mode" xinput_calibrator finds no calibratable devices.

Interesting thing is that when I ran dmesg | grep input -i and it shows an entry for the TS, the BIOS was set to "Auto".

Teo one time said the thing about booting twice. It writes over / deletes anomalies in the secret recesses between bios and the OS. Like registry in a way.

I was thinking the old 99-calib file was asking for the touchscreen v.s. tablet. The numbers, if there, were way outside tablet parameters.

Strange....

By the way there is a man page "$man xinput_calibrator"

That's the one.

battery pull reset

REBOOT TWICE

Okay, will do the power pull reset. Will report back in a few minutes.
