So now it is *only* the solving of conf file where and what text to be in that file.

On the milling machine the touch is mounted in reverse to drawing = 4 wires go out left and here only clue what is back/front is the adhesive to set it on the monitor.
So this could very well explain why pointing left cursor goes right..
My monitors with factory-installed touch screens have all done that initially.
All I have ever done to fix that is to put an XY swap and a reverse in Xorg.conf.
Then I have hand-calibrated by editing the calibration numbers in the same file.
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "calibration"
MatchProduct "eGalax Inc. Touch"
Option "Calibration" "1565 265 259 1590"
Option "SwapAxes" "1"
EndSectionOption "Calibration" "min-x max-x min-y max-y"
Calibrates the X and Y axes for devices that need to scale to a
different coordinate system than reported to the X server. This
feature is required for devices that need to scale to a different
coordinate system than originally reported by the kernel (e.g.
touchscreens). The scaling to the custom coordinate system is done
in-driver and the X server is unaware of the transformation. Property:
"Evdev Axis Calibration".
You will see that my min-X is greater than my max-X. I did that to reverse the axis. I seem to recall finding that more dependable than using the axis reversal options.

Hi Andy,

Which file are you editing?
And what is in there?

cat /proc/bus/input/devices is EMPTY
Completely ?
I found mention of editing /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf at the link below
www.thefanclub.co.za/how-to/how-ubuntu-1...chscreen-calibration
Is there an entry in /dev/input for the touchscreen (should at least have entries for keyboard & mouse) ?
sudo ls /dev/input/*
