[16:08] <cr3> hi folks, I'm running the mtdev-test command on /dev/input/event$NUM for a few systems where two finger scrolling works, but the command returns: could not grab device
[16:11] <dandrader> cr3, that's because the xserver open those files in exclusive mode
[16:11] <dandrader> cr3, you have to issue those commands from a virtual terminal
[16:11] <dandrader> e.g. Ctrl+Alt+F1
[16:13] <cr3> dandrader: thanks, should this page be updated accordingly? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Multitouch/Testing/CheckingMTDevice
[16:14] <dandrader> cr3, yeah
[16:24] <cr3> is there a way to listen for multitouch activity, preferably not in a virtual terminal
[16:26] <dandrader> cr3, yes, from xserver instead of from evdev files
[16:26] <dandrader> via the XInput2 protocol
[16:26] <dandrader> there's a terminal tool for that
[16:26] <dandrader> xinput test-xi2 <device>
[16:31] <cr3> dandrader: thanks, I'll look into that!
