** Description changed: It seems that unity hijacks multitouch input, this renders 3rd party multitouch apps useless. Steps to reproduce: ---------------------------- - 1 Install touchegg by "sudo apt-get install touchegg" - 2 Start touchegg in terminal - 3 Try out some multi-touch gestures and notice only upto 2 finger touch is recognized - 4 Now either use metacity, gnome-shell or compiz (with unity plugin disabled) as your window manager - 5 Repeat 2, 3 and notice all gestures defined in ~/.config/touchegg/touchegg.conf work fine. + 1 Install touchegg by "sudo apt-get install touchegg" + 2 Start touchegg in terminal + 3 Try out some multi-touch gestures and notice only upto 2 finger touch are recognized + 4 Now either use metacity, gnome-shell or compiz (with unity plugin disabled) as your window manager + 5 Repeat 2, 3 and notice all gestures defined in ~/.config/touchegg/touchegg.conf work fine. - - I think the best solution here is to remove multi-touch capabilities from unity and put them in a separate compiz plugin like drag handles is now.
