[05:03] <kongda_> Hello, I'd like to write an application to recognize three finger touch pad gesture on Ubuntu. Could anyone point me in the right direction? Or is there a gesture recognition API provided by the Linux Kernel?
[05:28] <one> What is an alternate way to edit the kern config the build setup requres ncurses. Ncurses is not in the repo.

[08:01] <one> What is going on jjohansen ?
[08:01]  * jjohansen is chasing bugs
[08:02] <one> find out where they come from instead of getting just one
[08:02] <one> fix them all
[08:02] <jjohansen> sadly too many of them come from me :)
[08:03] <one> So why is jjohansen chasing them?
[08:04] <one> jjohansen put bugs into the ubuntu kernel?
[08:04] <jjohansen> because they are good at eluding me
[08:04] <jjohansen> sadly sometimes yes, I try not to but it happens
[08:04] <one> well if they don't bug me I am not chasing them
[08:05] <one> Just when they invade my living space I squash them
[08:06] <one> What is an alternate way to edit the kern config the build setup  requres ncurses. Ncurses is not in the repo.
[08:10] <jjohansen> libncurses5, libncurses5-dev are in the archive
[08:14] <jjohansen> you can also directly edit the config with make oldconfig, however that by-passes the usual debian packaging, stuff. So it just depends on how you make you kernels
[08:14] <jjohansen> also you can hand edit the config pieces in debian.master/config
[12:53] <one> What are the options for editing the config file?
[12:56] <one> Or where is the configfile used by dpkg -buildpackage located?
[13:00] <one> modify it manually
