Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xinput-calibrator
The xinput_calibrator program displays an xorg conf file snippet to store the
calibration values. It shows a path of:
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/
however in Natty this directory seems to now be located at:
/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/
As the path is different, this is a confusing instruction.
I have confirmed that saving the snippet in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/
retains the calibration over reboots, as expected.
