CF-19CHBAXBM mk1 MINT Linux Xcfe toughscreen Calibration

Okay, followed Jeff's tutorial for CF-29 & CF-52, came up with this:
This what terminal says after calibrating:
Calibrating EVDEV driver for "Fujitsu Component USB Touch Panel" id=9
current calibration values (from XInput): min_x=1295, max_x=15887 and min_y=450, max_y=14684


Doing dynamic recalibration:
Setting new calibration data: 1283, 15855, 433, 14653




--> Making the calibration permanent <--
copy the snippet below into '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-calibration.conf'
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "calibration"
MatchProduct "Fujitsu Component USB Touch Panel"
Option "Calibration" "1283 15855 433 14653"
EndSection

What Part of the "snippet" is copied into the directory you have created?

 

I followed the directions and created the directory, this is what terminal says:armystrong@armystrong-CF-19CHBAXBM ~ $ sudo mkdir /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d
[sudo] password for armystrong:
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d’: File exists
armystrong@armystrong-CF-19CHBAXBM ~ $ ^C
armystrong@armystrong-CF-19CHBAXBM ~ $

 

Section "InputClass"
Identifier "calibration"
MatchProduct "Fujitsu Component USB Touch Panel"
Option "Calibration" "1283 15855 433 14653"
EndSection

I think 433 is too low. These are tablet numbers. See touchscreen numbers below.


Below from CF-52

 

O.K. the file exists. But it can be modified.
This is reporting you already created the directory.
Part of the reason I never use simply, just or that's easy in my threads/posts.

Code:

sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-calibration.conf

If it has numbers in it delete them and replace with your new run of calibrate. Numbers only with spaces (cut and paste best) or the whole snippet. If blank copy the snippet.

 

Okay, well it is ONLY off cal about one pudgy old man finger. Calibration fixes it and is fine during the session. The CF-19 MK1 works great in Linux Mint Xfce. I'm just having trouble with making the cal stick. Maybe I should try an older version of Linux Mint. Possibly 12-13? Seriously, not a big deal. Not going to load original os on this unit with 400 hours. Just going to get is plain and simple and gift it.Following directions and re-booting, the unit goes to a terminal screen. Since I do not know what to do, after logging on with user and password, I am still in the terminal. It's like the shell is corrupt and can not load

 

Did you try

Code:

startx

(maybe sudo startx)

Send me your file called /var/log/Xorg.0.log please.

Sudo gedit /var/log/Xorg.0.log ##cut and paste and email or put it here. We can erase it later. Might be too big for the forum rules.

Hang in there.

I don't have a MK1 right now. Is touchscreen shown in bios?

O.K. the kernel checks equipment and loads the drivers, then checks /etc for tweaks. What could we have said to offend the O.S. It has to be a typo or something in /etc/X11/modprobe.d (the directory) or 99-calibration.conf (the file).

Will the drive from the Mk2 run in your Mk1?

Thanks,

Jeff

 

Tried sudo startx, which took me back to my opening window (shell) I see after booting up. I will type in
/var/log/Xorg.0 and then see what happens

 

here's what I get:
armystrong@armystrong-CF-19CHBAXBM ~ $ /var/log/Xorg.0
bash: /var/log/Xorg.0: No such file or directory
armystrong@armystrong-CF-19CHBAXBM ~ $

 

Jeff, the list of -packages also will NOT update, just got a big red x down in the bar next to internet and battery. Going to re-install and fresh os

 

Probably for the best.

Sorry this didn't work out.

Lightning still delayed.

Future reference ($ sudo gedit /var/log/Xorg.0.log) Some of mine below. (Cap X again)picky brute.

Thanks Jeff, will try your suggestion and report back regarding $ sudo gedit /var/log/Xorg.0.log

 

Update for professor Sadlmkr: I reinstalled Xfce using mint 13 iso, then updated packages, then followed your advice. Re-booted and the calibration held. All is well in my world of New England. Going to to sell the MK 2 & MK3 as this little guy works great!!!

 

I am installing Mint 13 on a 29MK1 between phone calls re: immenent lightning storm.

We'll figure out what was going on one of these days.

Good show!

Jeff
