Touchscreen calibration fails.

[WarrenSensei]

Moved my system's HD to a new body, a Toughbook CF-19 mk7, and most things are running beautifully after running updates.
One thing that is NOT running nicely is the touch screen.

My CF-19 came with the touch-only (no wacom) version, and it worked perfectly under the Windows 7 that the laptop shipped with.

What's wrong:
Touch works, but the calibration is off nadly enough to make it nearly useless. The touch area seems to think the screen is a good inch or so larger than it really is. I can do gross actions like scrolling, but poking buttons or other objects is literally hit or miss, increasingly useless as you go away from the center of the screen.

I have tried:
* Downloading, installing, and running "xinput_calibrator" (runs, produces output, does nothing)
* following instructions for xinput_calibrator to "make this permanant" by adding output to /usr/share/x11/xorg.conf.d/99-calibration.conf (no effect)
* following instructions for xinput_calibrator to "make this permanant" by adding output to /etc/x11/xorg.conf.d/99-calibration.conf (causes login loop in gnome, needed to log into Wayland session and delete)
* following instructions for xinput_calibrator to "make this permanant" by adding output to /usr/share/x11/xorg.conf.d/40-libinput.conf (no effect)

There are old instructions pertaining to libinput-calibration-matrix, but they don't seem to exist anymore?

Any help or suggestions or direction is appreciated!

We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner. You reported this bug some time ago and there have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time.

1) Bug reports raised against the Xinput Calibrator project are not configured to be sent anywhere
2) An Ubuntu task was created but a package was not assigned so assigning to xinput-calibrator (Ubuntu)

Do you still see a problem related to the one that you reported when using a currently supported version of Ubuntu? Please let us know if you do otherwise this report can be left to expire in approximately 60 days time.
