| yorick | but, how does windows get these multitouch gestures | 11:52 |
| === MacSlow|lunch is now known as MacSlow | ||
| cnd | yorick: applications can get multitouch gestures by using geis, which is our C wrapper around the gesture engine | 14:51 |
| cnd | there is also a qml library called oif-qml | 14:51 |
| cnd | and an older gtk library called libgrip | 14:51 |
| yorick | cnd: I just want something like touchegg (4-finger flicks for desktop switching) | 14:51 |
| cnd | yorick: ok, well touchegg theoretically should work for you for two touch gestures | 14:52 |
| cnd | however, you have to turn off "tap to click" and "two touch scrolling" | 14:52 |
| cnd | otherwise, the X server will process two touches for these features | 14:52 |
| yorick | cnd: how does it manage 3-touch gestures in windows? | 14:52 |
| cnd | what do you mean? | 14:52 |
| yorick | cnd: under windows I have 3-touch gestures just fine | 14:53 |
| cnd | your trackpad probably provides locations for two touches | 14:54 |
| cnd | and then says there are actually three touches in total | 14:54 |
| cnd | this is very typical for synaptics trackpads | 14:54 |
| cnd | our stack doesn't support three touches for these trackpads, but it is possible to add in support | 14:54 |
| cnd | unfortunately, it would first require adding support to the X server | 14:55 |
| yorick | is it a hardware limitation? | 14:55 |
| yorick | oh, I see | 14:55 |
| yorick | goddamnit, HP. | 14:55 |
| yorick | "see, it's multi-touch, it can keep track of TWO fingers at once!" | 14:56 |

| cnd | yorick: yeah (sorry for the late response) | 17:10 |
| cnd | for a long time, apple was the only company putting out real full multitouch devices | 17:11 |
| === dandrader is now known as dandrader|lunch | ||
| yorick | cnd: what companies have them now? | 17:46 |
| cnd | synaptics has full multitouch now | 17:46 |
| cnd | on their latest models | 17:46 |
| cnd | I'm not sure of others | 17:47 |
