Halp! Calibrating touchscreen on Panasonic CF-30

Hey all! I’ve been having an issue I can’t figure out. Suddenly, I realized I’m in the heart of Linux users! I can ask here! I’m a total noob, so please be gentle.

I installed Xubuntu and got everything but the touchscreen working properly. The touchscreen works but the cursor is consistently off a bit, with the least error in the center of the screen and increasing as it moves to the sides. I’ve tried running xinput_calibrator but it doesn’t help. I attempted to run libinput.calibrate-touchscreen but keep getting a “is a Wayland compositor running?” error message.

Any suggestions?

    I’ve had experience with the older Toughbook CF-18’s and Linux (specifically Xubuntu actually), in my case mine worked out of box, but I had the digitizer option.

    Could you give us the output of the lspci and lsusb commands, to see if it’s being detected?
