Umm. Google, why the hell are you giving me what looks like 20 year old instructions? From what I gather, configuring touch screens on a multi-monitor setup in linux is apparently a highly obscure and niche idea so not something with a lot of documentation (not to mention it just can't be done on wayland unless you're using Swift). And, it's definitely cool that Google now gives you an indication of why a result has been returned. What concerns me, though, is that they don't consider the age of the result at all. According to archive.org, that page hasn't been significantly updated since 2006 when the "touchcal" link was updated to sourceforge. Before that was 2004, again updating the touchcal link, and then 2002 when the document was created.

Google's second result is 21 year old instructions.

I suspect XFree86 drove a lot of would-be desktop Linux users to macOS, especially after the Apple + Intel era began.

`XFree86 -configure` was pure insanity.

I dreamed last night that I was designing a super complicated laser system that folded into a briefcase, unfolded to the size of a garage, ran on solar power, required special inflatable white plastic suits to operate, and, most importantly, had to use the X Window system, specifically from the X Consortium days. #xfree86 #laserdon #dreams
