SV: Panasonic CF-29 touchscreen problems

[Haaken Kristian Bjertingstad Hveem]

I dont have any xorg.log file since kubuntu 9.10 uses HAL.

I got a fdi file that looks ok:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!-- -*- SGML -*- -->
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<match key="info.product" contains="LBPS/2 Fujitsu Lifebook TouchScreen">
<match key="info.capabilities" contains="input">
<merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">evtouch</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.reportingmode" type="string">raw</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.emulate3buttons" type="string">true</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.emulate3timeout" type="string">50</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.sendcoreevents" type="string">on</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.minx" type="string">310</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.miny" type="string">280</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.maxx" type="string">3700</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.maxy" type="string">4100</merge>
</match>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo> 

 i saved it as:
/usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty/50-Toughbook.fdi

still, xinput_calibrator displays:
No calibratable devices found.
