bit OT, but I have a similar gripe - my Panasonic laptop has a touch
screen and in earlier Ubuntus I had a custom xorg.conf that mapped the
XY input exactly to the display. The OOTB one now doesn't. And a touch
screen that respondsin the wrong place is worse than useless, it's
downright dangerous ;-(
