FWIW XInput permits setting an arbitrary transform to map the touchscreen to
part of the entire desktop. It's a bit cumbersome for the most common use case
but also very flexible. So I have
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/52-acer-touchscreen-options.conf
Section "InputClass"
# This is for human-readable purposes only.
Identifier "Acer touchscreen options"
# Match all devices with either Wacom or Waltop in their product name
MatchProduct "Advanced Silicon S.A CoolTouch(TM) System"
# AND match devices with a device path of /dev/input/eventX.
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Option "Transformation Matrix" "0.5 0 0.5 0 0.9 0 0 0 1"
EndSection
which goes with my desktop configuration having a 1920x1200 monitor on the left
and 1920x1080 touchscreen on the right: on the x axis the touchscreen is at 0.5
and on the y axis the touchscreen is simply shorter than the entire desktop:
1080/1200 = 0.9. They could at least have used pixel units instead of
normalized coordinates, but maybe they were worried about mismatched
resolutions or something.
Anyway, I think global touch coordinates should be w.r.t. the desktop, not the
screen. If you want to simplify and say that tuio only permits mapping the
touch area to an entire screen, you can still offset the coordinates according
to the screen's position on the desktop.
