(No effect in Calibration mode)
Move viewport(Upper Left point) of calibrated penmount input area.
This setting has lower priority than Option UMinX, UMinY, UMaxX,
UMaxY.
In the example above, if our calibrated penmount input area
is 1024x768 in default screen with viewport (0, 0),
it will move viewport(Upper Left of 1024x768) to (512,384) and with
the same screen size(1024x768) as calibrated.
Warning: in this setting, some parts of penmount input area may be

This setting has higher priority than Option MoveX and MoveY.
In the example above, if our original calibrated penmount input area
is 1024x768 in default screen with viewport (0, 0),
it will move viewport(Upper Left of penmount input area) to (192, 144)
and with different screen size (640x480) from calibrated input area.
For X: 192 + 640 = 832 and for Y: 144 + 480 = 624

otherwise there may be unexpected behavior with penmount!

Application Notes

1. Enable pc speaker in kernel
The PenMount touch beep function depends on the snd-pcsp module.

To enable the pc speaker module, modify /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf, and remark the following line:
blacklist snd-pcsp
The snd-pcsp module will be loaded after restarting system.
