@joela85 Hi, wondering if you learned a solution for this? I just managed to get my 42 inch IR Touch Overlay set to portrait on my MM. I have a 32 inch LCD monitor for this project.

Where can I set or adjust this? Any thoughts?

@sdetweil That worked! Nice
In Terminal I entered: chmod +x portrait.sh
Then executed the portrait.sh file I made
and the touch IR is now set to portrait.

So happy, thanks for your help buddy!

I’ve re-ran the “Calibrate Touchscreen” in Preferences again too. It reads:

< 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). >

I find the touch 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?

Where can I set or adjust this? Any thoughts?

Fun!

@sdetweil Awesome thanks!

In his website link I created the portrait.sh file but don’t wuite understand this 2nd part in his instructions:
————————-
“Afterwards, I also made launchers to automatically run each shell script when I tapped on them (this is possible in Xubuntu, Ubuntu MATE, and many other Ubuntu flavours). To do so, go to your panel, right-click, click on “add to panel” (or equivalent, for all these subsequent commands, too), create a custom application launcher. For portrait’s launcher, put in this command:

sh /home/username/Scripts/portrait”
—————————

Are you able to elaborate? I am somewhat new to this
Appreciate the guidance!

@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.

Fun!

@yawns Hello, yes and just finished running the xinput touch calibrator program under preferences (it had me touch the 4 red crosses). No issues there but I don’t know how or where to change the touch programming to “portrait” mode. I slide my finger up the monitor and the curser moves left.
Would you have any instructions? Thanks again!

@cowboysdude Hi, I have my MM up and running but can’t seem to get my 42” IR Touch Frame to adjust from Landscape mode to Portrait. I swipe up but the cursor moves left. I installed Xinput but not having any luck
How did you get you IR calibrated?
Cheers!

@cowboysdude I have the IR frame and xinput installed but not sure where to edit the crontab -e. I am a little new to this, are you able to give me some step by step directions to help rotate my IR touch frame?

Appreciate any help! Thanks

@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!

Hi there! I have my MagicMirror up and running in portrait mode and works well. I have just added a 42" Infrared Touch Frame Overlay but the touch cursor moves the wrong direction (ie. the touch cursor stuck to landscape)
How does one calibrate the touch cursor to portrait mode? I slide my finger up the mirror and the cursor moves right ~ lol.

I have installed xinput but not sure how or where to adjust the settings.

Any help appreciated!
