This article proposes a calibration algorithm for resistive-type touch screens that is both efficient and effective.

Otherwise, the software may not correctly act upon the soft button presses. If a button or other вЂњliveвЂќ feature on the display is to be properly activated, the coordinates of the area touched on the screen must be sufficiently close to the coordinates of the feature on the display. Calibration is necessary because it is difficult to perfectly align a touch screen's coordinates to the display (LCD or otherwise) behind it. Their construction is simple, their operation is well understood, and the hardware and software required to support them is readily available from multiple manufacturers.Дespite the advantages of resistive-type touch screens, devices equipped with them almost always require that a calibration algorithm be the first task to run when the final product comes out of the box. PS: in the commands above xinput-calibrator should be xinput_calibrator but formatting messes it up.Resistive-type touch screens are normally used in cost-conscious designs. I feel like IвЂ™ve been missing something obvious, and IвЂ™m wondering if Ubuntu (or Mate) will ever build a good GUI app to resolve this, because my brain still hurts. Some of the information involved matrix calculations as configuration methods.

Once the displays were mirrored we could get an unscaled accurate touch during calibration (cursor was always down and right prior). This is older stuff, and these were their native resolutions (although the ELO can do greater) which seems to be the only good coincidence we experienced. The workaround was to mirror the displays using the GUI, so this might not work for everyone.Д®lo 32' touchscreen 1366x768, and a Lenovo Z565 1366x768. (But ultimately, we might not have had to.)

We upgraded to 17.04, then back down to a fresh install of16.04.3. IвЂ™m reconstructing this from memory, so I donвЂ™t have the details perfectly. PS: I am doing this for a friend, and am sometimes remote via phone. If I disable mirroring, IвЂ™m back to where I started and have scaled touch.ДЄny ideas? IвЂ™m no Xpert. If I re-enable the primary LVDS screen in the laptop via the GUI from the Mate applications menu -instead of doing step 4 from the link above- I get mirrored screens. The calibration goes correctly, but I cannot reactivate the primary laptop screen. IвЂ™ve tried various other ones, like вЂ“auto and no luck.

(BTW, both screens are 1366x768) Clearly the touchscreen is being scaled to the full desktop instead of just the external monitor.ДЇound some forum posts on askubuntu re: getting this to work: linkДЇollowed advice found there, but ended up unable to get it working вЂ“ the xrandr option given вЂ“on in step 4 doesnвЂ™t exist. Touchscreen works fine, but the scale is wrong вЂ“ for instance, clicking in the lower left corner of the touchscreen places the cursor in the lower left corner of the laptop screen вЂ“ laptop screen is left-of external touchscreen.
