[10:18] <nerochiaro> hi everyone, i'm trying to get a magic touchpad device to work with ubuntu, and while unity seems to recognize 3- and 4-finger touches it seems to ignore any other gesture. any pointers where to start looking ?
[10:27] <RAOF> nerochiaro: What other gestures are you trying? IIRC those are pretty much the set of supported ones.
[10:27] <nerochiaro> RAOF: isn't there a 3finger swipe to switch windows or workspaces ?
[10:28] <RAOF> I don't think so?
[10:28] <RAOF> You *used* to be able to use 3-fingers to move windows around, but I think that gesture got dropped.
[10:29] <RAOF> Too few people have touchpads capable of tracking more than one finger :(
[10:39] <mlankhorst> I really?
[10:40] <nerochiaro> RAOF: i see. and is there any test app i can use to verify that other multitouch events are actually recognized and sent to windows ?
[10:42] <RAOF> nerochiaro: ‘xinput test-xi2’ will show all the touches X sees (as different valuators)
[10:46] <nerochiaro> RAOF: i dont' seem to be getting any event for 2 finger gestures. 3 or more generate TouchUpdate events
[10:48] <RAOF> Hm. 2 fingers might be translated into scroll events, I forget.
[10:48] <nerochiaro> RAOF: and 2 finger pinch is what i really need to test
[10:49] <nerochiaro> RAOF: doesn't seem like the case, or at least windows with scroll bars don't seem to react to them
[10:49] <nerochiaro> and xinput doesn't show them as scroll neither
[12:55] <Prf_Jakob> Is bug 1293384 a known bug?
[12:55] <ubottu> bug 1293384 in Compiz "Compiz CPU usage dramatically increased in Ubuntu 14.04" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1293384
[12:59] <tjaalton> guess so
[12:59] <tjaalton> maybe try #ubuntu-unity?
[12:59] <mlankhorst> Prf_Jakob: haven't heard of it, but it could be due to unity blur effects
[13:00] <Prf_Jakob> Okay thanks
[13:02] <tjaalton> right
[13:02] <tjaalton> it should be possible to drop some effects for such cases
