Touch screen not working was created by Thom
I wanted to implement a Touchscreen to my Linux CNC milling machine:Therefore I use a Touchscreen, which is detected by Linux as “EloTouchSystems,Inc Elo TouchSystems 2216 AccuTouch® USB Touchmonitor Interface”
 The touch is working as well, but the Y Axis of the Toch input is inverted
=>So I edited the config file /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-libinput.conf and added the last section “calibration”
 [code]# Match on all types of devices but tablet devices and joysticks
Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "libinput pointer catchall"
        MatchIsPointer "on"
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
        Driver "libinput"
EndSection

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "libinput keyboard catchall"
        MatchIsKeyboard "on"
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
        Driver "libinput"
EndSection

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "libinput touchpad catchall"
        MatchIsTouchpad "on"
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
        Driver "libinput"
EndSection

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "libinput touchscreen catchall"
        MatchIsTouchscreen "on"
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"

EndSection

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "libinput tablet catchall"
        MatchIsTablet "on"
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
        Driver "libinput"
EndSection

But now it is not working at all: in the log I have the following errors:

Yes, I've had the same issue with an ELO touchscreen a while ago.
Solution for me was to set the transformation matrix.

First find the device name of your touch screen:
$ xinput list

Look for the touch device name in the Virtual core pointer section and copy/paste that somewhere as you will need this later. In my case the device name was "EloTouchSystems,Inc Elo TouchSystems 2216 AccuTouch® USB Touchmonitor Interface".

Now you will need to find the settings for the transformation matrix:

The screen is calibrated using a Coordinate Transformation Matrix, which defaults to the identity matrix.

[1 0 0]
[0 1 0]
[0 0 1]

for convenient entry, the matrix is flatted into a single line like this

1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1

were the values seem to map like this

[hscale] [vskew] [hoffset] [hskew] [vscale] [voffset] 0 0 1

To test calibration use this in terminal:
DISPLAY=:0.0 xinput set-prop "Coordinate Transformation Matrix" 1 0 0 0 -1 1 0 0 1

The above should flip your touch vertically. I also had to scale the touch entry on my device.

Now to set this permanently (after login):

Create file: ~/.xsessionrc

Content of my file:
# added to get the ELO touchscreen to flip the touch in Y
xinput set-prop "EloTouchSystems,Inc Elo TouchSystems 2216 AccuTouch® USB Touchmonitor Interface" "Coordinate Transformation Matrix" 1.205 0 -0.07 0 -1.27 1.11 0 0 1

Note that I these are my values (with scaling) so use your device name and transformation values instead

Try this: forum.linuxcnc.org/18-computer/42384-touch-screens#207192

I've had real success with it.

This was exactly the solution!Thank you very much!
Just for Information:
$ DISPLAY=:0.0 xinput set-prop "Coordinate Transformation Matrix" 1 0 0 0 -1 1 0 0 1
Was not working for me, I used
$ xinput set-prop 10 "Coordinate Transformation Matrix" 1 0 0 0 -1 1 0 0 1
The “10” is the device ID (figured out by $ xinput list)
