Ubuntu Touch Screen Area
I've been working on getting a tablet of mine working with Ubuntu for a while and for the longest time, I thought that getting passed the EFI was going to be my biggest headache, but currently it seems to be getting the touchscreen working. What is happening is that when I load a driver, no matter where I touch the screen, the cursor seems to be confined to the upper left corner of the screen. I've done xinput_calibrator several times and used several different drivers that I found for my touchscreen. It's a cheap Vulcan tablet that used to run Windows 10 but now it's running 18.04 and, near as I can tell, it's a MSSL1680 i2c touchscreen. Is there something I'm missing as far as configuring the touchscreen to expand the area?

Try updating to the latest Linux kernel using ukuu and let us know.sudo add-apt-repository ppa:teejee2008/ppa,sudo apt-get update,sudo apt-get install ukuu. Open ukuu and install the latest kernel. It might solve the issue
