TouchScreen calibration was created by jtrantow
A dumpster-diving friend gave me a truckload(18) of medical computers that should make nice CNC computers. The corei3 computer isn't anything special, but the 15" touch screen LCD and rugged keyboard have a pole mount that will make for an easy machine mount.

I installed the default 2.8 .iso and added the xinput and xinput_calibrator packages for the touchscreen.

I can see my device using "xinput --list "
⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ ALCOR USB Multimedia Keyboard Consumer Control id=10 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ Hampshire Company TSHARC Analog Resistive id=12 [slave pointer (2)]

Device Product ID (271): 2013, 1
libinput Drag Lock Buttons (284): <no items>
libinput Horizontal Scroll Enabled (285): 1

But when I try to use it, the touches are flipped on a diagonal. (XY swapped, XY inverted???)

After I run xinput_calibrator, I have:
jjt@debian:~$ sudo more /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-calibration.conf
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "calibration"
MatchProduct "Hampshire Company TSHARC Analog Resistive"
Option "MinX" "117"
Option "MaxX" "65482"
Option "MinY" "64"
Option "MaxY" "65428"
Option "SwapXY" "0" # unless it was already set to 1
Option "InvertX" "0" # unless it was already set
Option "InvertY" "0" # unless it was already set
EndSection

But no matter what I set for SwapXY, InvertX, InvertY, my touches are flipped on the diagonal. (top right and bottom left are ok but everything else is flipped about the diagonal. I also tried saving this info to /usr/share/X11... with no success.

I figured out how to swap XY using "xinput set-float-props 12 149 0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0" but XY are still inverted.

Any insight into why my xinput-calibrator file isn't working would be appreciated.
Alternative would be help using xinput to invert x and y.

I got the touchscreen working, but what a holy mess!
Eventually, installed evdev package and was able to get it working.
Originally, linux was using libinput and I couldn't get the axes swapped using libinput. (still not sure why it didn't work)

My development PC is a Core i3. It has rather good latency.
