Somebody in the thread at some point said:
| Hello,
|
| After much efforts (but thanks for the page ;-) ), I have managed to
| install this on my microSD card:
| http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Debian
|
| I can reach the gdm screen but the calibration of the touchscreen is
| totally flaky.
|
| After another set of painful efforts, I have managed to install
| libts-bin and run ts_calibrate. If you want to know, you need to do this
| from the terminal over the USB-connection:
|
| export TSLIB_CALIBFILE="/etc/pointercal"
| export TSLIB_CONFFILE="/etc/ts.conf"
| export TSLIB_PLUGINDIR="/usr/lib/ts"
| export TSLIB_FBDEVICE=/dev/fb0
| export TSLIB_CONSOLEDEVICE=none
| export TSLIB_TSDEVICE=/dev/input/event1
| ts_calibrate

Thanks for sharing.

| I get some numbers on /etc/pointercal but there are quite different if I
| run ts_calibrate a few times. In any case, the touchscreen is still
| totally mad and I can't use xvkbd to input the login info. In the best
| case scenario, the pointer is around 200x200 pixels NW from the touch.

Huh, sounds a bit like this

URL points to the apparent fix for some cases.
