[Bug 1227214] Re: Make three- and four-finger gestures on touch screen also work in Wacom mode

 

This is is still an issue in 14.04. I have a new Thinkpad T550 with a
Wacom touch screen device. After installing a newer kernel to recognize
the Wacom device, I am still faced with having to pick between the
"wacom" driver that provides the expected two-finger gestures (like
scrolling and right-click) across the board, or an alternative (like
using the "evdev" driver instead) to get three- and four-finger gestures
while losing a lost of the two-finger gesture functionality.

See bug 1433444.

Title:
  Make three- and four-finger gestures on touch screen also work in
  Wacom mode

Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I have a Lenovo Thinkpad Twist (convertible with touch screen) running
  Saucy with standard Unity desktop. With all in its default
  configuration, tapping on a window with three fingers added some
  resize buttons to it, dragging with three fingers dragged the window,
  and tapping anywhere with four fingers opened Dash.

  All this does not work any more when running the touch screen with
  Wacom driver to enable screen rotation (bug 1216065) and a right-click
  emulation by holding a finger on the place where the right click
  should happen and then tapping anywhere else with a second finger.

  It would be great to make the standard Unity gestures
  (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Multitouch) also work under the Wacom driver.

  I enabled the wacom mode by adding "|Atmel" to the "MatchProduct" line
  in the "InputClass" section with Identifier "Wacom class" in
  /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-wacom.conf (copy of file
  /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-wacom.conf).
