During the calibration procedure it is possible to touch the screen away from the calibration targets thus throwing calibration off to a point of no return. Keyboard navigation to return to the calibration function is the only recourse in this situation.

> Keyboard navigation probably makes some sense for the administrative functions: tab through buttons, space to press button, etc. But before we get in a knot about this, just how far out of calibration can these things really get on their own before we just declare the touch screen broken? I mean, its a big button, and you can always use some smarts and touch a little to the left or right based on feedback. If the screen is going out of calibration to the point that this technique doesn't work, something is seriously wrong.
