3m/microtouch USB touchscreen

Hello all,
I'm trying to get a 3m/microtouch screen to work with Etch.
First problem to get the screen to be detected I have to unplug the USB lead and replug in. This gets the touch working, however the x axis is in reverse and calibration is a little off.
cat /proc/bus/input/devices

shows

I: Bus=0003 Vendor=0596 Product=0001 Version=0410
N: Name="3M 3M USB Touchscreen - EX II"
P: Phys=/input0
S: Sysfs=/class/input/input3
H: Handlers=mouse1 event3 ts1
B: EV=b
B: KEY=400 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
B: ABS=3



I've tried putting it into my Xorg.conf but this appears to have little effect.
I do the following
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Layout0"
Screen 0 "Screen0"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "touchscreen0" #add this
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "touchscreen0"
Driver "microtouch" #tried mutouch no effect
Option "Device" "/dev/input/event3"
Option "DeviceName" "touchscreen"
Option "MinX" "2300"
Option "MinY" "2300"
Option "MaxX" "14000"
Option "MaxY" "14000"
Option "DragTimer" "200"
Option "MoveLimit" "600"
Option "ReportingMode" "Raw"
EndSection


So the first question is can anyone tell me what to do to get the screentouch to auto detect from boot?
The second is can anyone tell me how to get the xorg setups to be recognized?
Third how to get the x axis correct, presumable if xorg loads the set up in I can just use the the swap command? so this may no be needed.

I've spent two days on this trying everything from google, but with no luck so would love some advise. Thanks!

I should add that i apt'ed the xserver micro touch drivers, when I use these they turn the gnome black, that it appears to boot but the screen just flickers then goes black.
