Comment 63 for bug 549447

I'm not sure if this reply still work. I still have not been able to get my
touchscreen to work. I was hoping that in this latest release of ubuntu
that the problem may be fixed. If there is something you would like me to
try let me know.

all for calibration does not change anything.

don't disable the device using evdev, everything works too, except that
every touch is preceded by a touch to the upper left corner.
