I finally got my Puppy to stop peeing on the carpet and doing his business in the lawn. But he needs to be calibrated.

I tried to use the stylus to control the mouse, but the mouse is badly misaligned, so it's not usable. How can I calibrate my LifeBook?

Hmm...I have previously suggested xinput_calibrator for these kind problems...not sure if it even works....but...

Install Chromium and let it translate it to the english. It will do that easiest if you have en locale.

Of course I know nothing about touchscreens and I dont even know if my suggestion even helps.

Anyway I compiled in Slacko the xinput_calibrator. Install the attached pet.

You get the menu entry under the System > System status and config in Menu

That was what I was afraid. You probably will need some driver so that the touchscreen calibrating would be possible. If the xinput_calibrator does not find anything to calibrate, it probably means that something is not loaded for calibration. Just my hunch.

CONFIG_FUJITSU_TABLET
This is a driver for tablets built by Fujitsu:
* Lifebook P1510/P1610/P1620/Txxxx
* Stylistic ST5xxx
* Possibly other Fujitsu tablet models

~ # modprobe -l | grep tablet
kernel/drivers/platform/x86/fujitsu-tablet.ko

fujitsu-tablet.ko provides lcd brightness control.

There is kernel module usbtouchscreen.ko though. It might be good idea to check with lsmod if it is loaded and test load it with modprobe if it is not:
modprobe usbtouchscreen

Also Xorg input driver evdev provides some control. My previously posted link has something about evdev and xorg.d file for manipulating it and also example xorg.d file for xinput calibration control.
The location to place those xorg.d files is:
/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d

My dpup has still xorg driver evtouch but it is not in Slacko Xorg input folder anymore.

Still mostly at loss with all this touchscreen stuff.
