Touch panel calibration out of whack on X61T
Posted: Tue Nov 06, 2007 5:28 pm
I'm having a weird calibration issue with the touch panel on my X61t under Windows XP.
I've been through a couple of rounds of removing/installing drivers to try to get the Wacom extended drivers working (I gave up).
Now the pen is working perfectly, in portrait and landscape mode. (Though no pressure info in Photoshop, as expected.)
The touch panel works very well in landscape mode.
However, in portrait mode, the bottom of the screen is calibrated (ie the cursor moves to where I point) but at the top of the screen it is out of whack (the cursor moves about an inch higher than where I point). The shift is gradual - as I drag from top to bottom, the cursor gets closer and closer to my fingertip.
I have tried recalibrating in both orientations, and the same thing keeps happening.
Strangely, if I am holding the laptop in landscape orientation, and force the screen to rotate by pushing the button, then the calibration gets out of sync (and returns to normal when rotated back).
So it must be a software/driver issue - since the touch panel works fine in one orientation, but gets out of whack when orientation is changed (though screen is not physicall moved).
Any thoughts on where to take this next?
Anyone had any luck contacting Lenovo with this?
Anyone have an X61T where pen + touch panel are working correctly?
