I will append the script/udev-rule/systemd service to the patchset.
With the systemd/udev stuff I would like to wait a bit until our users
have collected experience. After sending this series I saw that on
some images at first start xinput-calibrator is hidden by the greeter
application of dm. Up to now I did not yet find a good way to have
xinput_calibrator 'always on top'.
