If I may suggest:
- when using the evdev X.Org driver or any other (like evtouch, mutouch, 
...) use xinput_calibrator
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/xinput_calibrator

- in the embedded world, appearently many people use the tslib driver 
and its tools (you seem to need to use framebuffer video for it)
