ok, sorry for the confusion. That's not my primary interest, the coordinate data is. However I do think, if possible, it would be good to have a way to do hw-calibration via evdev, that's common to as many touchscreens as possible. But I can easily calibrate the 3M USB touchscreen via usbfs if I have to. >Sure.

Yes, unfortunately, unless a single evdev command initiates equivalent hardware calibration in the various touchscreens out there. >We were trying to have a standard way to access touchscreens.
