    We are dual-booting our just-acquired Model: CF-29EWKGXKM with WinXP-Pro-SP3 and Linux.

    We are struggling with the XP load because the touchscreen is off by about an inch - the pointer is about an inch too high.

    We've loaded all of the drivers we could find on the Panasonic Web site, and updated the mouse-touchscreen driver from the Panasonic Web site. The Calibration app doesn't respond to the touchscreen.

    UPDATE: He discovered that he needed to hold the calibration sites long enough to be recognized. It is working OK now.

    Yes, did you check the touchscreen for gunk around the edges? This will cause what you are experiencing.

    Huh?

    Are you talking about holding the stylus down to the screen?

    I had the same issue with my CF-29 I just got. A lot of times when you fresh install linux or xp and load the touchscreen drivers it is always off. The 1inch thing happened to me. Easy fix just recalibrate.
