It installs now but is missing many patches and it's impossible to apply a touchscreen calibration config which makes the package unusable:

# ev_calibrate
The program 'ev_calibrate' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-evtouch

hopefully you guys can help me out. Got Ubuntu 10.04 LTS - the Lucid Lynx - released in April 2010 that uses emc2 set up on a PC that needs to operate an CNC machine but cant seem to configure my touchscreen to what the net gave me so var... I'm using a "LG FLATRON L1730SF touchscreen" axis seemed to shrink and that damn config file not on the PC nor do seem to be able to add it ( limited Linux experience )
