Bug Description

I had managed to calibrate my eGalax touchscreen (Hewlett-Packard Pavilion TX 1000 tablet pc) a while ago, then upgraded video drivers. Ran into a problem with the video drivers, and by the time I've ironed it out, the touchscreen started to refuse calibration.
I have purged all extra PPAs but still no success.

`
$ xinput set-prop --type=int --format=8 12 "Evdev Axis Calibration" 41 3961 100 3949
X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
  Major opcode of failed request: 131 (XInputExtension)
  Minor opcode of failed request: 57 ()
  Serial number of failed request: 19
  Current serial number in output stream: 20
`

Calibration values set in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-calibration.conf do work.
