| cnd | johanbr, yes, multitouch gestures should work on all multitouch trackpads | 15:13 |
|---|---|---|
| johanbr | cnd, oh... they don't work for me on a synaptics clickpad | 15:28 |
| cnd | johanbr, are you sure your clickpad is multitouch? | 15:28 |
| cnd | xinput list --long | pastebinit | 15:28 |
| johanbr | it's advertised as such anyway... | 15:29 |
| johanbr | alright, just a sec | 15:29 |
| johanbr | hmm, xchat crashed on me... | 15:30 |
| johanbr | cnd, http://paste.ubuntu.com/992536/ | 15:31 |
| cnd | johanbr, ok, it's multitouch, but it only provides two touches | 15:31 |
| cnd | which synaptics doesn't let through if you have two-touch scrolling or tap-to-click enabled | 15:31 |
| johanbr | oh, I see, that explains things... | 15:32 |
| cnd | notice the "Max number of touches" | 15:32 |
| johanbr | right... | 15:32 |
| cnd | feel free to complain to Synaptics :) | 15:33 |
| johanbr | :) | 15:34 |
| johanbr | but thank you for the explanation! | 15:37 |
| JanC | cnd: does that mean people get more or less functionality if they disable 2-touch scrolling & tap-to-click? | 16:46 |
| JanC | or just different functionality? | 16:46 |
| cnd | JanC, well, not many applications have support for two-touch gestures yet | 16:50 |
| cnd | so the answer right now is that you get less functionality | 16:50 |
| JanC | or that it depends on the applications you use, I suppose | 17:02 |
| JanC | but less on average | 17:02 |
| JanC | wouldn't it be possible to implement "general gestures" (like scrolling) using some automatic compatibility layer? | 17:03 |
| cnd | JanC, heh, yes | 17:18 |
| cnd | we've been trying to think of sane ways to do that | 17:18 |
| cnd | from ld preload wrappers | 17:18 |
| cnd | to inserting logic into core X client libraries | 17:18 |
| cnd | to other terrible things that one should never do | 17:18 |
| cnd | alternatively, we could just support mainstream toolkits like qt and gtk and leave the rest to wallow in their unscrollingness | 17:19 |
| cnd | but we'd have to support ff, lo, chromium, too | 17:19 |
| JanC | I think that e.g. Windows mouse drivers for early scroll mice did some emulation like that, but I don't remember whether they used emulated keypresses (for scrolling) or something else | 17:26 |
| bryceh | mlankhor1t, RAOF, tjaalton: ppa for the lts backports @ https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/q-lts-backport | 22:15 |
| bryceh | I added timg so he can start pumping in kernels | 22:15 |
