I worked on this problem/something similar a while ago...

My touch screen was detected as a linux_input device and instead of
trying to get tslib working, I simply scaled and fixed the offset for
my min/max and made the variables available in the directfbrc file.

See my old post:
http://mail.directfb.org/pipermail/directfb-dev/2009-January/004788.html

I realized just recently that detecting a descent min/max x/y should
be done with a normalize distribution of values instead of one-time
min/max as there may be an occasional value which is really out of the
normal range (think about approaching the edge of a resistive screen
mounted inside a panel which covers .1" on the edge of the screen)..

Hope it helps,
- Azilat
