How do I configure the touchscreen surface area?

Post by jaspar » 2015/04/06 23:09:02

Hello,

I have a touchscreen built into my device (ProOne 400).

The drivers are installed and it's detected fine in CentOS 6.5, I can see everything is working correctly.


I would like to know how to configure the surface area of the touchscreen, as when I hook up an external monitor the surface area changes and it gets all skewed and i'm not familiar with configuring this particular device.

Please let me know if anyone can assist, or let me know.

Hmm, not the best wording I see.

I should have said limit the input of the touchscreen to only apply to the touchscreen not span across entire screen real estate.

Which I've since learnt is incredibly easy to do with xinput. (still new to Cent OS so you will have to bare with me etc)


xinput --map-to-output 13 eDP-0 makes the touchscreen input only apply to the touchscreen hardware which is what I wanted.

So that part is actually solved, I just need to know how to make this persistent?
