How do I calibrate a touchscreen on a dual monitor system?

I have a dual monitor setup of two different sizes. My primary monitor is a 23 in widescreen Acer T230H touchscreen, and the second is a regular 20 in. When I go to use the touchscreen, the cursor shows up on the secondary display depending on where I touch the display. How do I calibrate it to only control my primary monitor?

As Beni Cherniavsky-Paskin suggested in a comment, I used the following command to map an input device to an output screen:

xinput map-to-output <device> <output>

To figure out which is which, I first ran xinput to list the input devices. From that listing, I observed that my touchscreen was "QUANTA Optical Touch Screen" and listed as device id 12. I then ran xrandr to determine the touchscreen, which in my case was VGA1.

Simply entering the following command then did the trick:

xinput map-to-output 12 VGA1

As Beni Cherniavsky-Paskin and Paul Lammertsma suggested in above comments xinput map-to-output <device> <output> did the trick for me!

you first need to run xinput to get the id of inupt device,

the above command return something like this for me.

user@user-hpEnvy:~$ xinput
⎡ Virtual core pointer                      id=2    [master pointer  (3)]
⎜   ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer                id=4    [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ Logitech Unifying Device. Wireless PID:401b   id=10   [slave  pointer  (2)]

⎣ Virtual core keyboard                     id=3    [master keyboard (2)]
    ↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard               id=5    [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Power Button                              id=6    [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Video Bus                                 id=7    [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Video Bus                                 id=8    [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Power Button                              id=9    [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ HP Truevision HD                          id=12   [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard              id=14   [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ HP Wireless hotkeys                       id=16   [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ HP WMI hotkeys    

Next I ran xrandr to get the list of screens and the output of the command is like this

user@user-hpEnvy:~$ xrandr

In my case the touch device is ELAN20E7:00 04F3:20E7 id=13 and touch enabled screen is eDP1 to fix the issue i need to map the device the that monitor only for that i ran this command xinput map-to-output 13 eDP1

Problem solved and its working fine again :)

I am using elementary OS freya, so it should work for all distros based on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

Very hard to find solution but actually pretty straight forward, just follow the answer from 'phnomic' here: Touchscreen and additional external monitor. Works flawless with my Fujitsu T730 with all kinds of external monitors!
