To restart this:

Check /etc/ts.conf. If your 'raw' coordinates are fine just remove everything 
after input_raw... this will still go through tslib but allows you to test 
things.


Regarding using such thing in a general way:

If you want to get this stuff actually used (and tslib removed) then you 
should:

	1.) Get the code upstream into the linux kernel
	2.) Provide the testing infrastructure that exists with tslib
	3.) Fix the XCalibrate extension... have a "stable" path in sysfs for 
configuration...

Our Company goal is to use upstream stuff, by using Openmoko's custom in kernel 
touchscreen filtering and calibration infrastructure we don't get closer to 
that goal, we walk into the other direction.
