Comment 3 for bug 557923

in karmic: the calibrate_touchscreen.sh is a link to ../lib/xf86-input-evtouch/calibrate.sh
the code there cannot be executed, because
"Could not initialise connection to hald.
Normally this means the HAL daemon (hald) is not running or not ready."

and it produces a nice error message

No evtouch capable device found, if you are sure you have
an evtouch capable touchscreen, please mail the resulting file of the command "lshal > evtouch_hal.out" to the
bug url https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/317094, so support for your device can be added.

i hope this helps in tacking down the problem, which is crucial for lucid to support touchscreen devices!

thank you
