[Benjamin Meeusen <mr.ravenous@xxxxxxxxx>]

I used the livecd Maverick Alpha 3 Netbook. Without the usbhid.quirks
option, the cursor stays in the upper left corner. With the
usbhid.quirks option, I can use xinput_calibrator, set the 'Evdev Axes
Swap' and the 'Evdev Axis Inversion' to 1 and have a working
touchscreen.
Now I've installed the backported kernel (same kernel as in Alpha 3, I
believe) on my existing installation, without any custom boot options
and the cursor still goes to the upper left corner.

If I don't disable the device using evdev, everything works too, except that every touch is preceded by a touch to the upper left corner.
