To be a bit more exact:
om-gta02 in SHR is using calibration of kernel driver through /sys, just
because it was first working solution, then we added possibility to use
xinput-calibrator (but that's used from Xsession.d script only after user 
manually starts it once - on some units it's more precise after own
calibration than with precalibrated kernel driver - no idea why)

SHR moved from xserver-kdrive-common to xserver-common, but default
stayed kdriver in task-x11. Would be great if other distros using
xserver-kdrive-common decide to join xserver-common camp and make your
changes only in one.

BTW: biggest change for switch from kdrive was to check/fix Xsession
script to never kill shell which is using them. They were launched in
new shell in kdrive and exit call was ok, but with xserver-common they
are sourced to Xsession script and calling exit stops Xorg loading.

Cheers,
