How to calibrate Touchscreen in (X)Ubuntu 17.10?
Good afternoon.
There is a computer with a touch (Micros workstation 5A).
Touch is defined by xinput as "Elo TouchSystems, Inc. Elo TouchSystems 2216 AccuTouch(R) USB Touchmonitor Interface".
And this touch is not calibrated in any way either in Ubuntu 17.10 or in Xubuntu 17.10.
I tried as taught with xinput_calibration but no effect.
I tried the same instructions on Xubuntu 16 - it works there, but not here. I need exactly 17.10.
Tell me, please, how to calibrate the touchscreen?

Understood. You need to use the Coordinate Transformation Matrix option.
And even wrote a calibration service:
1. First you need to set the matrix for the device 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 (it is set by default).
2. Then open https://advanty.ru/calib/ and expand to full screen (F11).
3. Follow the directions: poke in the corners.
4. Copy the line to check in the terminal, replace DEVICE_NAME with the desired value and run. The touch should start working correctly.
5. If everything is OK, then put the line for xorg.conf.d in the /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-calibration.conf file. In addition to this line, you need to make a "strapping":
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "calibration"
#Название продукта можно посмотреть с помощью команды xinput list
MatchProduct "My Super Puper Touchscree Inc."
#Ниже вставляем строку со страницы сайта
Option "TransformationMatrix" "1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1"
EndSection
