Touchscreen calibration procedue for Debian9 (stretch)

Touchscreen Calibration in Debian9

Unfortunately [xinput-calibrator][1] does not work at all for calibrating a touchscreen in Debian9. This is apparently because X server now uses libinput to handle input devices instead of evdev. I spent huge amount of trying to fiddling with xinput-calibrator and 99-calibration.conf files until I finely found this [issue][2] on GitHub that gave me some hints as how to proceed. This is mostly for my own reference, but I hope it might also help others in the same situation.

Building PyQt5 to support Python2 based QtDesigner Plugins

Building PyQt5 to support Python2 based QtDesigner Plugins

As far as I can tell, the reason Qt5 Designer does not load custom PyQt5 widgets is due to the 'stock' shared library libpyqt5.so (which comes with PyQt5) not being built for the correct combination of the Python and Qt versions. It seems the only way to get around this is to build PyQt5 from source so we will have a libpyqt5.so that is correct and will be able to load the custom widgets.

Install Python dev tools

Installing Qt VCP Qt Designer Plugins

Installing Qt VCP Qt Designer Plugins

Fist, you need to be using Python 2.7 and PyQt4

To install PyQt4 I ran

$ sudo apt-get install python-qt4-dev

Open a root file browser and navigate to (replace x86_64 with your machine's architecture)
