Well, I had tried to recalibrate using the System Setup tool (which I
fortunately could launch using the keyboard), so I suppose I launched
xtscal, then... but that didn't help. Whenever I tried to tap on a
target, it wouldn't be hit :(

I unfortunately had another failure which bricked my Z later on
(report to come in another post) and am not able to replay the
situation :(

But before starting the calibration tool, I noticed that at some time,
maybe after opening and rotating the screen (I don't remember
exactly), I got the pointer to move in exact oposite direction from
where I would drag it...

For what it's worth...


Something else, also, after full reinstall (including NAND), I  notice that by
default, on the akita, with screen opened (keyboard accessible, not
rotated), the Display is set to "Portrait" in the Screen Setup
utility... wouldn't it normally be landscape in that case ?

I guess that maybe this could be linked to my problem ?

Hope the description of the problem is clear and it triggers someone's
mind ;)

Best regards,
