No. The /etc/pointercal is the matrix that maps hardware values to
values in the 640x480 range, and should not be used for anything else
(for example, not for working around bugs in the X-tslib-driver, or to
rotate the screen). The right point to fix that is the X tslib driver, I
think.

It would be great to get that working, as it’s not yet clear whether and
how we can get Xglamo packaged.

Greetings,
