3M USB Touchscreen - (Can't calibrate & Pulling my hair out...)

Hey Guys,
I have searched every forum I can find for a solution to my problem. I am lost, cold, and alone. I absolutely can not get my new 3M touch screen to work in Ubuntu. Yesterday I upgraded to the latest stable build of Ubuntu (10.04 LTS) because my only issue seemed to be calibration in my earlier version of Ubuntu, but now I am worse off. The reason I upgraded was to use the tool xinput_calibrator, which I couldn't build without upgrading to 10.04. Now that I've upgraded, I can install xinput_calibrator, but nothing I do actually calibrates my touchscreen. The mildly good news is that the driver seems to be working since when I touch the touchscreen, my pointer jumps to the bottom right of the screen.

In the previous build of Ubuntu I had, I was able to get the touchscreen to work, kinda, by dropping a file in /etc/hal/fdi/policy/touchscreen.fdi containing the following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<match key="input.product" contains="3M 3M Touchscreen - EX II">
<merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">evtouch</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.MinX" type="string">14200</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.MaxX" type="string">2160</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.MinY" type="string">2580</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.MaxY" type="string">13800</merge>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>

But now, in the current version of Ubuntu, I understand that fdi policies are a thing of the past and everything is controlled by udev rules now. That's fine, I don't care, if I could get a rule to do anything.

So I read and read and read. I started trying lots of different things to troubleshoot:

I tried using xinput to set some rules:
xinput set-int-prop "3M 3M USB Touchscreen - EX II" "Evdev Axis Inversion" 8 0 1

I tried adding a file 05-edev.conf to the xorg.conf.d directory with this contents(but that just freezes my computer on startup):

Section "InputClass"
Identifier "3M"
MatchProduct "3M"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
#Driver "usbtouchscreen"
Option "InvertY" "on"
Option "Calibration" "1874 14571 2344 13411"
EndSection

One odd thing is that when I use xinput to list out my devices, I see two touchscreens (one that says it's disabled. 10 is the proper one, 11 is disabled):

rmartin-laptop 1 [/home/rmartin]: xinput -list
⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ SMK Standard MCE Receiver 1 id=9 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ EVTouch TouchScreen id=10 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad id=13 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ Macintosh mouse button emulation id=14 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ EVTouch TouchScreen id=11 [slave pointer (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)]
↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Power Button id=6 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Video Bus id=7 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Power Button id=8 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard id=12 [slave keyboard (3)]

I also don't understand the name "EVTouch TouchScreen" and how it correlates to my 3M touchscreen. When I list out all my usb devices using lshal, I see the name "3M 3M USB Touchscreen - EX II".

rmartin-laptop 1 [/home/rmartin]: lshal | grep input.product
input.product = 'Power Button' (string)
input.product = 'AT Translated Set 2 keyboard' (string)
input.product = '3M 3M USB Touchscreen - EX II' (string)
input.product = 'SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad' (string)

I have also created a udev rule '/etc/udev/rules.d/99_touchscreen.rules' with the following contents:

ACTION!="add|change", GOTO="xorg_touchscreen_end"
KERNEL!="event*", GOTO="xorg_touchscreen_end"
ATTRS{product}!="EVTouch TouchScreen", GOTO="xorg_touchscreen_end"
ENV{x11_options.swapxy}="1"
ENV{x11_options.calibration}="1958 27 187 1955"
LABEL="xorg_touchscreen_end"

Nothing seems to alter how my touchscreen responds in any way. Every time I press it, same thing, the recycle bin opens, cause thats what's on the lower right of my screen.

I'll be eternally grateful if anybody can help me. Thanks!

Is there possibly a better place to post this question? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

It's not easy to get help with unusual hardware. Did you get the software from this site:

BTW, the latest stable build of Ubuntu is 10.10.

3M might have their own forum on something called Touchnet.
