Configure Touch Screen for Linux Operating System

We map a touch screen controller to a touch screen connected to a linux computer. If we don't do this then touch will not be recognized accurately at the correct touch points.
I'm running kubuntu. The monitor is a Dell P2418HT.
Follow along and get an understanding of the basics to get your touch screen operational when connected to a Linux box!

You are a life saver. This worked perfectly without any calibration problems or tweaking. Thank you so much!!!!

Glad I can help.. Makes it all worth my while. Cheers!

in some cases this does not work, since the script runs before the main settings and does not overwrite them, if this does not work for you, just add "sleep 10" for example:
#!/bin/bash
sleep 10
xinput map-to-output 10 HDMI-0

Thank you so much, at least something to start testing with in order to solve the problem with touchscreen. I am wondering is it possible to make this at any Linux ?

Would be nice if you listed the 3 commands, so we could copy and paste the, instead of having to read them from the video.

Sorry, my experience with this technique all stem from Ubuntu based systems only... Kubuntu, Mint and others. That's not to say it won't work for others... I just have no experience with them. Let us all know if you find a solution. Thanks

thanks for this video , but i receive a response as "unable to find an output 'DP-0' " , so in that case we have to replace DP-1,1,or 2 by Head-0,1 or 2, then it works .There are not a lot of videos about multiple screen out there , thanks a lot.
