Comment:

 This is a linearity problem, which we have spent a lot of time working on
 since this ticket was filed.

 The root cause turned out to be a skew of the IR PCB (receivers and
 transmitters) around the bezel, caused by a poor assembly technique.   We
 added larger alignment holes to both the IR light guide and the IR PCB,
 allowing the assembly process to use a jig with alignment pins to ensure
 minimal skew in volume production.

 We also added a linearity test to the manufacturing tests.   Every XO-4
 Touch laptop is tested for the linearity of a diagonal line drawn across
 the screen.    There is a test jig which helps the test operators do this
 quickly, but we started testing with a capacitive stylus and a straight
 edge.

 The linearity is sensitive to the size of the finger being tracked.
 Testing at the factory is done with a 9mm wide stylus.

 Closing as solved, although attention to this will be required throughout
 production.
