[Bug 442553] [NEW] evtoch calibration does not consistently work

[Andrew Frank]

Public bug reported:

i have a touchscreen. karmic detects the stylus out of the box !!
great!!! but i cannot calibrate the stylus. i have installed the
touchscreen calibration and it produces an etc/evtouch/config file (and
i have replaced it with one that i am sure to be working from the jaunty
installation). after restart it sometimes uses this calibration ,
sometimes not. then the stylus sends the cursor always into the lower
left corner (trash opens) indepenent where on the screen i touch.
sometimes it works. it seems that the evtouch/config file is not always
read during startup (is there a way to force this reading? is there a
way to check that it is read?)

thank you - progress to an out of the box working for tablets is made!
