      The IR touch frame works without software with the Pi by just plugging it in…but it thinks it’s always in landscape mode. Wondering if there is a piece of calibration software as there is for windows to calibrate it for portrait

          @cowboysdude But somebody might have bigger mirror and frame than real screen size, and his touch-solution should be upon the mirrorglass. In that case he need calibration to adjust.

              @cyberphox I just purchased the IR Touch Frame for my MagicMirror but can’t change it from Landscape to Portrait. How did you manage to calibrate yours? I have a 40" frame. Any help appreciated!

                  @cyberphox thanks! Are you able to point me on how to make the adjustments? I have xinput installed but not sure where to go from here.
                  Thanks for your help!

                    run the calibration from the menu…touch the points and that’s it!

                      @cyberphox Hi there, ok! I now managed to get my IR Touch Overlay set to portrait! also just finished running the xinput touch calibrator program under ‘Preferences’ (it had me touch the 4 red crosses). It shows:

                      < Calibrating standard Xorg driver “Multi touch overlay device” current calibration values: min_x=0, max_x=65535 and min_y=0, max_y=65535
                      If these values are estimating wrong, either supply it manually with the - -precalib option, or run the ‘get_precalib.sh’ script to automatically get it (through HAL). >

                      My issue, I find the curser doesn’t reach the the edges of my monitor. Example I can’t simply click on the Raspberry Icon in the corner. The curser is diaginally 2 inches away? I have a 42 inch IR Touch Overlay using a 32 inch LCD monitor.

                      Where can I set or adjust this? Any thoughts?

                      Fun!
