SarvattRAOF: it costs $.10 more to add a real multitouch touchpad to a laptop, that adds up! :)01:57
Sarvattonly apple is willing to put something decent in there..01:58

nerochiaroi hve been told that at the moment touchpads will not send xi2 two-finger touch events to applications due to the mouse interpreter converting them to mousewheel. is there a way to disable this behavior globally, so i can test how apps will behave when they receive them ?12:52
tseliotmlankhorst, RAOF: ^12:54
tjaalton01:56 < RAOF> Bah, nobody stays around to my morning :)13:11
tjaalton01:57 < RAOF> t1mp: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics doesn't send two-finger multitouch events; it consumes them itself to  synthesise scroll events instead.13:11
tjaalton01:57 < RAOF> t1mp: And most touchpads will _report_ more than 2 fingers touching the touchpad, but only send coordinates  for the first 2.13:11
tjaalton01:58 < RAOF> t1mp: Because apparently Apple is _still_ buying up _all_ the non-terrible touchpad hardware :(13:11
tjaaltonnerochiaro: ^13:11
nerochiarotjaalton: yes, but can we temporarily disable this behavior somehow ? I want to see how my app would react when 2 finger events are not consumed by the stack anymore13:13
tjaaltondisable synaptics13:16
tjaaltonso that it'll load evdev instead13:16
nerochiarotjaalton: can you please point me in the right direction on how to do that ?13:28
tjaaltonnerochiaro: the most brutal way would be to remove the driver.. or move it aside, or change the xorg.conf.d snippet to not do anything13:34
nerochiarotjaalton: i'll try the last one you suggested. seems the least brutal13:35
Prf_Jakobmlankhorst: did you push the svga fixes to the ubuntu packages?18:30
Prf_Jakobmlankhorst: I updated bug 1284134 if that is okay?18:38
