      @Snille Hi Snille
      I have had greate use of xin.sh file to run at start. It contained the:
      “DISPLAY=:0.0 xinput --set-prop “Multi touch Multi touch overlay device” “Coordinate Transformation Matrix” 0 1 0 -1 0 1 0 0 1”
      However, now using the pm2 start xin.sh for automatic start, I get an error in the pm2 log
      What do you use to correct the ir-frame ?
      Best

          Well, I start the xin.sh with PM2 and it works with calibrating the IR-frame:

          xin.sh:
          #!/bin/bash
          DISPLAY=:0.0 xinput --set-prop “Multi touch Multi touch overlay device” “Coordinate Transformation Matrix” 0 -1 1 1 0 0 0 0 1

          However, after the mm.sh (the MagicMirror) has started, then when I go back to Raspberry disktop the the Calibration is off again. If I then run the xin.sh with “pm2 start xin.sh” in a terminal window then the calibration is okay again.

          This is the error that I get from pm2 log file:

              do
              pm2 save

              to sync the disk list with the memory list of things pm2 manages

              then do

              pm2 info 0

              to get the startup info from the task definition

              we’re you running as root ( or using sudo ) when u did the pm2 start xin.sh?

                Regarding: “we’re you running as root ( or using sudo ) when u did the pm2 start xin.sh?”

                I just wrote “pm2 start xin.sh”,and then “pm2 start mm.sh” and then at last “pm2 save”

                Should I have used “sudo pm2 start xin.sh” ?

                  @BJK no… NEVER use sudo for anything unless you know WHY you are doing it…

                  and you were logged on as user pi, right?

                    Well, instead of user pi, I am user Bo. So my home directory is like home/Bo/MagicMirror/modules…
                    But any idea about the xin.sh error? Would it help to let pm2 just run the xin.sh once?

                      @BJK pm2’s JOB is to start and run stuff AND KEEP it running…

                      so, if it ends. pm2 will start it back up…

                      and if it errors too many times too fast it will stop restarting…

                        @BJK I don’t start the xin.sh (with pm2). if you read in the xin.sh file you will find instructions how I did it… :) Here you can download the xin.sh.

                        The script (if you don’t want to download it):

                        #!/bin/bash

# Before I just tested with the xinput command directly in the autostart file, but that did not work. So now instead I just created a script called xin.sh.
# nano ~/xin.sh
# Then added
# DISPLAY=:0.0 xinput --set-prop "Multi touch Multi touch overlay device" "Coordinate Transformation Matrix" 0 1 0 -1 0 1 0 0 1
# There should actually be 3 spaces between “Multi touch” and “Multi touch overlay device”. For some reason the board removes the extra spaces here.
#
# You can actually find the “name” of the device with this commandDISPLAY=:0.0 xinput list
# Shows something like this:
#
# Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
#   Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
#   Multi touch Multi touch overlay device id=6 [slave pointer (2)]
# Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)]
# Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)]
#
# Depending on what you have connected to your RPi. 🙂
# 
# So, after creating the xin.sh I added that to the autostart file for LXDE:
# Like this:
# nano ~/.config/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart
# Added at the end of the file.
# @/home/pi/xin.sh
# Restarted and it works.
#
DISPLAY=:0.0 xinput --set-prop "Multi touch   Multi touch overlay device" "Coordinate Transformation Matrix" 0 1 0 -1 0 1 0 0 1

                        You have to figure out your own “matrix” of course… :) Not sure if mine is the same…

                        If you cant find it, make it and share it!

                          Thank you! :beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes:
                          Now, after your precise suggestions, I did read up on the autostart for Raspberry:
                          https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=313191
                          https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?f=66&t=294014

                          and using:
                          “sudo nano /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart”

                          I pasted my line at the end of the the autostart:
                          @/home/pi/xin.sh
                          and then saved the file

                          In the xin.sh file, I have:
                          line1: #!/bin/bash
                          line 2: DISPLAY=:0.0 xinput --set-prop “Multi touch Multi touch overlay device” “Coordinate Transformation Matrix” 0 -1 1 1 0 0 0 0 1

                          So, just two lines and "line1or2: " is not part of the file :smirking_face: (and - as you said - I do have a bit different coordinate compared to you)

                          AND now it WORKS! Thank you !

                              @BJK LXDE/autostart is running as root I think…

                              pm2 autostart is NOT running as root, so u have to use sudo
