Sorry, I was confusing two strategies. If you are using the navigatrix-setup.exe to create the LiveCD modifying the cfg file is unnecessary.

...but, by doing your Step 6...you are deleting the configuration file, a part of which you have just edited.

Using the navigatrix-setup.exe you have the persistence file. Recreating it starts you back at the beginning.

...and, yes, you probably don't have enough space on your USB. Most 4GB sticks are about 3.7GB. The system is over 2GB; add 1GB for the persistence overlay....3.somethingGBs.

Regardless, a new install, modified sudo medit /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf before the addition of extra data should work.

If you fill it up and it doesn't work, you need a bigger stick.



Today status:

1. Everything works fine exept saving touchpad configuration after reboot(sudo gedit /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf)
2. I have now made a 1GB persistence stick (after deleting the chart folders, so i had free space)
3. Other changes in OpenCPN etc. are saved after reboot.

NB: I have used: sudo gedit /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf .... NOT: sudo medit /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf

Does it matter?

No, it just means I have not been paying attention.

Last year medit, with the 'm', was introduced as a 2-3MB smaller replacement to gedit. I thought gedit was removed...guess not.

Regardless, your touchpad is not remembering. Let's figure out why.

I'll review some possibilities.

It's possible that the instructions you were following do not apply to the Beijer touchpad.

What happens when you run
Code:
xinput_calibrator
and then when it spits back settings: copy the snippet below into '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-calibration.conf'?...or where ever it directs.
Code:
sudo medit /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-calibration.conf

This is the procedure i use. (Exept medit/gedit issue..)

So neither /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf nor /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-calibration.conf worked?

1. used Xinput_calibrator: adjusted my points - got message: "For permanent calibrating, save config in: /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-calibration.conf.

2. I wrote sudo medit /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-calibration.conf
A new blank text file opened (side by side with /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf in other tab)

3 I paste in new calibration settings in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-calibration.conf file and enter "save" Then i got a fault message "no such file..etc..."
So i "save as" /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-calibration.conf (had to create xorg.conf.d folder)

4 reboot and PC will not start up again...

I assume my "save as" operation went wrong... :oops:

Rather than paste the section into a file...post them here so we can take a look.

This sound like the right area...just not getting the right configuration.


...really, it's fun.

Here it is

--> Making the calibration permanent <--

Cannot save the file direct..
Tried to save the file in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-calibration.conf

Result: Navigatrix will not start - now i do rebuild of Live CD/USB stick for the second time.

...putting petrol in the tank in your car is not the same as putting petrol in your fish tank even though both are called "tanks".

We need to find out why you can't save the file.

Hahaha. :)
Do you need more info from me?

Post subject:  Re: save my touch screen settings to USB boot?
no, I need more time for me...life is intervening here...actually getting in the way. There is a big local problem that I am involved in.

But aside from that it looks like we are getting the 'right' data, I just need a half hour to think straight...difficult on a good day.

I think it is a matter of just creating the directory (see this link):

http://forum.notebookreview.com/panason ... ost9334740

"O.K. this is a good thing.
Watch and use the capital X!
Touchscreen:
From a terminal create /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d directory:
Code:
sudo mkdir /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d Install xinput calibrate from Synaptic Package Manager."

Post subject:  Re: save my touch screen settings to USB boot?
I think you nailed it.

There is no /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d directory to save the file in.
Code:
sudo mkdir /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d
first. xinput calibrate is already installed.

Thank you for looking into that.
