Hello Chase
We have a new input device that which we have
successfully tested with the following test apps
1. mtdev-test /dev/input/event4
2. grail-touch /dev/input/event4
3. grail-gesture 0xFFFFFFFF /dev/input/event4
event4 is the input device generating Type A multi-touch events.
Could you guide us how to proceed further to write a test application
under X window system such that the application starts receiving the
multitouch events.
Hi Shreepad,
As promised, here's a more detailed answer to your question:
Ubuntu's multitouch and gesture solutions can be divided into two
solutions. The first is implemented in Ubuntu 10.10 and provides for
gestures using the utouch-geis library. The specification is
documented
(though poorly formatted) at:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Multitouch/APIs/GEIS/1.0Spec
If you install the libutouch-geis-doc package in Ubuntu 10.10 you will
find raw doxygen documentation by directing your browser to:
file:///usr/share/doc/utouch-geis/html/index.html
This first version will be forward ported as necessary for
applications
to work on future versions of Ubuntu.
Our second version will be implemented in Ubuntu 11.04. It will be
built
on top of XInput 2.1 multitouch work. It will provide more features
and
control of multitouch and gesture input than the first version. This
should be ready for some testing in a month or two.
I know these responses are very high level. Please feel free to ask
more
in depth about anything here or on our mailing list
multi-touch-dev@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.
Thanks!
