| sabotage | anyone know a recommended replacement for mtview in Quantal? | 21:32 |
|---|---|---|
| sabotage | or any other tools that report/visualize the number of supported points on mutli-touch screens? | 21:33 |
| bregma | sabotage, there's a number of tools that report the touches, I'm not sure if there are any visualization tools any more | 21:56 |
| bregma | you could try installing the frame-tools package and run frame-test-x11 and see if it's what you're looking for | 22:01 |
| sabotage | bregma: well, it may have to do for now, thanks | 22:18 |
| sabotage | I see it at least reports the "Number of Touches: <n>" | 22:18 |
| sabotage | seems to me that I had some app like mtview on a different device running 12.10 (upgraded at each release since 10.04 iirc) | 22:19 |
| sabotage | that tool would open a window and show visual feedback of the touch points with colored circles, the darkest one being the primary touch point input | 22:20 |
| sabotage | anyway, seems mtview was deleted from the Quantal repos and I can't find any similar alternative | 22:21 |
| sabotage | I even devoted a few minutes to building mtview from src, but alas, the utouch-evemu libs do not appear to be available in Quantal either | 22:22 |
| sabotage | and I've got better things to do with my time than descend into dependency "hell" | 22:23 |
| bregma | mtview worked by reading MT events from the kernel and displaying them | 22:27 |
| bregma | that's not really valid, expecially if you;re using the MT extension to X | 22:28 |
| bregma | unfortunately, as far as I recall, the visualizer was never replaced | 22:28 |
| bregma | although I definitely recall seeing some visualization tools, but I can't find them now, so they mau have been one-offs | 22:29 |
| sabotage | well, thanks for the reply anyway... that frame-test-x11 at least has a nice concise and easily regex'd output for what I need right now | 22:33 |
| sabotage | just not as pretty :/ | 22:33 |
| sabotage | bregma: fwiw, I fumbled my way through the PyMT instructions and finally have a /visual/ way of seeing how many inputs are being recognized | 23:51 |
| sabotage | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Multitouch/PyMT | 23:51 |
| sabotage | missing from that wiki is the info that you must run as root in order to use the "probesysfs" input provider type | 23:52 |
