[Touchscreen] Egalax, configuration problems

Hello,

My computer (a Dell E6400 XFR) has a touchscreen. Here is the lsusb output:

lsusb | grep eGalax
Bus 006 Device 002: ID 0eef:0001 D-WAV Scientific Co., Ltd eGalax TouchScreen 

It already didn't work very well with window 10 I could test a little bit when I just received the laptop.
Then I installed archlinux, and couldn't make this touchscreen work.
Recently I tried again, just installing the aur driver for egalax and activating it with systemctl enable.
( https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xf86-input-egalax/ )

At the beginning the mouse cursor was left/right inverted
I read this page on the wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mu … h_displays

They say we must change the direction setting, from 0 to 2.
I did it, it wasn't so efficient. Then I set it to 1, and it works now better.

For now, top/bottom and left/right orientations are good, but the cursor can't reach the screens corners, and the more I'm far from the center the more the gap between the pen and the cursor is big.

Here is my egalax configuration file:

Re: [Touchscreen] Egalax, configuration problems

I tested to play with parameters, not all, and still no result it is still inacurate
