ts calibration

Hello,

I have made 3 test for calibration of the touchscreen. All are made "with the
hand (and maxima)".

The first is the one of tslib :
xcal = ((x * 91) >> 8) - 61 - ((207 *y) >> 16);
ycal = 509 - ((y * 142) >> 8) - ((x * 13) >> 8);

that is
ycal = ax + by + c
ycal = dx + ey + f

The second one is a generalisation :
xcal = ((x * 91) >> 8) - 61;
ycal = 548 - ((y * 160) >> 8) - ((x * 31) >> 8) + ((((x * 8) >> 8)* y) >> 8);

that is, a gxy term is added for ycal.

with this two there are probleme with the y values. the x values are good. the
second one
is better near the corners (this is useful).

The third is adapted from the perspective transform of gimp :
xcal = ((104 * x) - (2 * y) - (68 * 256)) / (((15 * x) >> 8) - ((2 * y) >> 8) +
245);
ycal = (- (4 * x) - (152 * y) + (523 * 256)) / (((15 * x) >> 8) - ((2 * y) >> 8)
+ 245);

it is harder to compute the constant, but the result are interesting.

I have taken time on tweaking the constants. The biggest problem is near the
bottom border
(in the middle the pen is to high but good on the corner), perhaps the
touchscreen is not linear.

The problem with the tslib technic seems to be the border.

Moreover I succeed (with pain) in adding a contact with the palm-style keyboard.
There is a lot of jitter and I would be good to suppress the first and last "pen
down" event
since there value are not relevant. But I do not know how to make that.

sincerely,

Alain
