Bug Description

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.
Tried to install original fpit package, but failed to resolve dependencies. (bug already filed)
Installed from ppa/ubuntu-x-swat and worked like a charm, with the exception of the X-axis calibration.

All of a sudden the X-axis calibration numbers seem to make no difference at all. Y works fine, and changing the numbers shows a difference in calibration, but not at all for the x axis. For example this is my original code block:

Code:
Section "InputDevice"
 Identifier "Tablet"
 Driver "fpit"
 Option "Device" "/dev/ttyS0"
 Option "InvertY"
 Option "MaximumXPosition" "12550"
 Option "MaximumYPosition" "7650"
 Option "MinimumXPosition" "400"
 Option "MinimumYPosition" "400"
 Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
 Option "Passive" "false"
 Option "TrackRandR" "on"
EndSection

However changing Option "MaximumXPosition" "12550" to Option "MaximumXPosition" "0" shows absolutely no difference in calibration. The pointer goes all the way right when my pen is a little more than half way across the screen. Up and down is fine. Is this a typo in my xorg.conf, or a bug in fpit?

Having the exact same problem on a Gateway M285e. The x calibration is off and changing "MaximumXPosition" has no effect.
