You can take a look at the tslib driver. It's a bit hard to find 
information on, but as far as I know, it's originally created for 
embedded devices and you need to use a framebuffer for video.
It's calibration module can handle linear scaling of touchscreens, as 
well as rotation.
It might do calibration as described in

If not, you could take a closer look at the technique described there 
too ; )

Hope it helps you a bit further,

Kind regards,
