Its great when I find this software in Ubuntu 12.04LTS repository with my ASUS R2H! I wonder if I don't need to manually sudoedit after every calibrating...

You can make the calibration settings permanent. If you run xinput-calibrator from a terminal (that is, from a command line) then it will print detailed instructions on standard-out.

Is this what you are asking about?

Kind regards, Tias

@tias What I mean is xinput-calibrator automatically "do" the "detail instructions" instead of telling us. I'm too lazy to do it myself ;)

The big question is where to store the calibration data. Some touch controllers can store it in an internal eeprom, but there is no interface (kernel <--> userspace) for it. So it is not possible to do everything automatically and store the settings permanently.
