W510 touch registers on wrong monitor when touch screen not primary display

[MRX]

I just encountered this problem, it seems like an issue with the touch screen driver. When a monitor is connected via VGA and that monitor is made the primary display, whenever I touch the laptop screen, the click indication appears on the wrong monitor. Is there a driver update that fixes this? Who should be notified? What company made/supports the touch screen?

hey MRX,

regarding this, really hard to say what could be the cause.

curious to know, the external monitor which you are using, did it by any chance some with its own drivers ?

also have you tried reversing and placing the external monitor as the primary ? does it make any difference?

This happens only when the external monitor is the primary.

It seems like touch always registers on the primary, even if the primary is an external monitor. It'd be nice if this issue was fixed.

This problem happens on multiple different monitors including a dell 21" and LG L1733TR.

Sounds like it's just making a faulty assumption. Should be easy to fix, but that's just my two cents.
