Hi Dan,

In Xorg.0.log in /var/log when the wacom driver initializes your
digitizer and touchscreen it'll list generic coordinates for both.
Then set up the coordinates in a xsetwacom startup script.  For
examples see:  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1515562  You
don't need coordinates for each orientation.  For some rotation
scripts and methods see:

The xinput_calibrator is at:
