Get some sleep. You will think better in the morning. I calibrated mine but don't remember how. I will check in the morning. Regarding the two touch screens is it possible you have a multi-touch screen? On May 2, 2017 3:30 PM, "John Thornton" wrote: And I know the same thing,

Re: [Emc-users] touch screen calibration assistance please

Hello Andy, Yep, got the desktop back. Turned out I typed in what you listed "SwapAxis" "1" was the problem. I went back in and Nano'd this line out and the desktop came back with of course incorrect calibration. I have the file where you say yours is and if I make changes to the numbers, I can

OK, now I am in trouble I guess. I made the folder in the /etc/X11 folder and copied my calibration files in there. Reboot and nothing has changed. Then I made a new folder where the instructions told me to make it (etc/X11/) but in /usr/share/x11) and put my configuration file in there. Reboot

Greetings Andy; Because the output will drive pyvcp led indicators that don't exist until the gui is drawn, I've put your auto gearchange hal file in the postgui_call_list.hal file where it is executed after the gui is available. However I had to comment several loadrt's and addf's, and
