I was my mistake when I change the path to mouse1 because I forgot one "/".
After I correct this and I've restart the Xorg server I have a touchscreen which action more strange.
I tried the option of switching the axes but doesn't work.
Even the calibration is more strange.
I think it is a conflict between the mouse and touchscreen.

Sure, your touchscreen is mouse1, but I don't believe this means the correct Option "Device" value should be /dev/input/mouse1. It should be the event number which corresponds to mouse1.

Yes, possibly. Are you using a USB mouse? Maybe you would have a better result if you use a PS/2 mouse?

Or it might be worth seeing if the touchscreen works in the absence of a mouse - try booting the computer with NO mouse attached.
