I have run into problems where the file /etc/pointercal does not yet exist.
If I go ahead and create it and then run tpcal, all is good. If I run it
without a pre-existing file, tpcal runs and finishes, but then nano-x has
some connection issues. I haven't tried to debug it yet, but I thought it
was strange.
