[Launchpad Bug Tracker <901630@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

I found a thread at https://lists.launchpad.net/multi-touch-dev/msg00798.html saying multitouch now  works in Ubuntu's Qt
and mentioned the Qt touch demos. Two finger pinch-zoom using the touchscreen works in Firefox on this hardware (HP EliteNook 2760p) out of the box- but none of the Qt multitouch Qt demos (eg fingerpaint, pinchzoom) from qt4-demos package work.

I tried to follow https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Multitouch/Testing but got
stuck at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Multitouch/Testing/CheckingMTDevice -

the only plausible sounding device out of these..

$ sudo lsinput|grep name
   name    : "Sleep Button"
   name    : "Lid Switch"
   name    : "Power Button"
   name    : "AT Translated Set 2 keyboard"
   name    : "HP HD Webcam [Fixed]"
   name    : "HP WMI hotkeys"
   name    : "PS/2 Generic Mouse"
   name    : "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad"
   name    : "ST LIS3LV02DL Accelerometer"
   name    : "Video Bus"
   name    : "HDA Intel PCH HDMI/DP,pcm=3"
   name    : "HDA Intel PCH Line In at Sep Rea"
   name    : "HDA Intel PCH Mic at Ext Right J"
   name    : "HDA Intel PCH Line Out at Sep Re"
   name    : "HDA Intel PCH HP Out at Ext Righ"

was the synaptics touchpad at /dev/input/event7 but:

$ mtdev-test /dev/input/event7
error: could not open device
$ sudo mtdev-test /dev/input/event7
error: could not grab the device

Also, xinput_calibrator shows the touchscreen as this, which didn't show up in lsinput:
$ xinput_calibrator --list
Device "Serial Wacom Tablet stylus" id=13
Device "Serial Wacom Tablet eraser" id=15
Device "Serial Wacom Tablet touch" id=16

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Multitouch/HardwareSupport says that Wacom
should work.
