[gentoo-user] xinput_calibrator on ARM (Odroid XU4) refuses to output to xinput

Hi,

I'm trying to use an eGalax touch screen in this Odroid, using
xinput_calibrator like this:

$DEVICE_NAME=`xinput_calibrator --list | grep "eGalax" | cut -d\" -f2`
/usr/bin/xinput_calibrator --misclick 0 --device "$DEVICE_NAME" --output-type
xinput

doesnt work, xinput_calibrator outputs an error after the apparently
successful calibration screen:

ERROR: XorgPrint Calibrator does not support the supplied --output-type
Error: unable to apply or save configuration values

Any hints?  Is it expected on an ARM CPU?  I use it the same way in a x86
machine, and it works perfectly...

Thanks a lot!
Francisco

Are the versions the same? What happens if you try the xorg.conf.d output type?

Nothing seems like it should be related to your architecture, but the
package may be older or newer.
