[21:33] or any other tools that report/visualize the number of supported points on mutli-touch screens? [21:56] sabotage, there's a number of tools that report the touches, I'm not sure if there are any visualization tools any more [22:01] you could try installing the frame-tools package and run frame-test-x11 and see if it's what you're looking for [22:18] bregma: well, it may have to do for now, thanks [22:18] I see it at least reports the "Number of Touches: " [22:19] 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) [22:20] 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 [22:21] anyway, seems mtview was deleted from the Quantal repos and I can't find any similar alternative [22:22] 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 [22:23] and I've got better things to do with my time than descend into dependency "hell" [22:27] mtview worked by reading MT events from the kernel and displaying them [22:28] that's not really valid, expecially if you;re using the MT extension to X [22:28] unfortunately, as far as I recall, the visualizer was never replaced [22:29] although I definitely recall seeing some visualization tools, but I can't find them now, so they mau have been one-offs [22:33] 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] just not as pretty :/ [23:51] 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] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Multitouch/PyMT [23:52] missing from that wiki is the info that you must run as root in order to use the "probesysfs" input provider type
