Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-evdev

When using something like `xinput set-float-prop $INPUTDEV "Coordinate Transformation Matrix" 0.0 -1.0 1.0 1.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 1.0` to match the coordinates of a touchscreen/tablet to a rotated (transformed) screen, the cursor moves around erratically.

From the original report of david-dklevine (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-evdev/+bug/742567/comments/32):
when a horizontal or vertical drag is performed the cursor jumps wildly - it appears to jump between what it should be according to the coordinate transformation and what it would be if x=0 and y=1 (that is if the second line of the matrix was the identity). With a diagonal drag or a touch the cursor appears where it should be.

In addition to the Cando Multi Touch Panel reported at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-evdev/+bug/742567/comments/32, it also affects me with a AsusTek, Inc. MultiTouch(TTI) (on Asus EeePC T101MT)
