Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xinput-calibrator

The xinput_calibrator program displays an xorg conf file snippet to store the calibration values. It shows a path of:
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/
however in Natty this directory seems to now be located at:
/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/

As the path is different, this is a confusing instruction.

I have confirmed that saving the snippet in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/
retains the calibration over reboots, as expected.
