Hi all, I almost got my touch screen working and was looking for help in the final stretch.
Ubuntu 14.04 lts, monitor seems to be "Angel" brand, here it is on Amazon

If you want to skip to the end, seems like my swapaxes argument does not apply.
Plug in with no config, I think it just acted crazy. So I installed 'Calibrate Touchscreen'. Ran, it gives me this
Code:
Calibrating EVDEV driver for "eGalax Inc. USB TouchController" id=12
current calibration values (from XInput): min_x=769, max_x=793 and min_y=1233, max_y=1229
Doing dynamic recalibration:
Setting calibration data: 797, 765, 1228, 1234
--> 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 "eGalax Inc. USB TouchController"
Option "Calibration" "797 765 1228 1234"
Option "SwapAxes" "1"
EndSection
Pasted as requested, no change. I ran lsusb and noticed the monitor is called this
Code:
Bus 002 Device 004: ID 0eef:0001 D-WAV Scientific Co., Ltd eGalax TouchScreen
So I changed my file to say this
Code:
jefm@duck:/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d$ cat 99-calibration.conf
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "calibration"
MatchProduct "D-WAV Scientific Co., Ltd eGalax TouchScreen"
Option "Calibration" "797 765 1228 1234"
Option "SwapAxes" "1"
EndSection
The problem is it seems like not matter what i put for SwapAxes, be it 1, 0, True or False, the cursor misbehaves but is predictable.
If I touch drag from lower left to upper right, the cursor moves from upper left to lower right.

Any ideas? thanks for any help!
