I am not an xorg developer so cannot assist with your technical questions.

One of the other options you mention is adding calibration info to a
xorg.conf.d file.  It share a common disadvantage with udev method in
that it requires write access to files generally written to by root.  As
you indicate support for these xorg.conf.d files may require recent
xserver.  However, this option seems more appealing as touch screens are
closely aligned with X (not a lot of value in moving this information
outside of X but I could be wrong).

Maybe the xerver should support maintaining state for xinput based (or
other) devices?  For example, it would save the claibration values
currently being used and load them on startup.  There may other items
like this in the new "trending towards configless" environment that is xorg.

Great work and thanks for xinput_calibrator!
