RE: Live Touchscreen Calibration [WAS: magictouch touch screen driver]

Hi,

actually a great thing to have, but not that easy. 
The main problem is, that the driver itself has to be disabled.
 - this can be solved by quitting X and doing a calibration with touchcal
 - the other possibility is (I don't know how) to disable the driver while running X and then doing the calibration. and finally enable the driver again

Maybe this is not possible. There is no function to disable a pointer device while running X. So you could add a feedback function to gain access to the driver and have a enable/disable routine.
