To calibrate the touchscreeen you must login into your freerunner and
execute following lines:

export TSLIB_CALIBFILE=/etc/pointercal
export TSLIB_CONFFILE=/etc/ts.conf
export TSLIB_PLUGINDIR=/usr/lib/ts
export TSLIB_TSDEVICE=/dev/input/event1

then you can start ts_calibrate.

After the calibration restart your xserver

Johannes
