OK plain and raw events are sent when window belonging to "xinput test- xi2" has the cursor in it, or is in front ( or something like that.) When the second finger is moved. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xf86-input-wacom in Ubu

I upgraded to 12.04, downloaded Qt SDK, built the fingerpaint demo, futzed with xorg.conf.d to get it to load the synaptics Xorg input driver instead of the wacom xorg input driver, futzed with xinput set- prop, etc. to change the settings of the driver. No, the fingerpaint demo doesn't work. I f

Have you thought of using xscope? from http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/app/xscope It would snoop on the net traffic between the X server (including the Xorg driver say synaptics or evdev) and the X client (say Qt and app.) Possibly the xscope tool is not up to date with XI2 protocol packets, b

Erno, You're might be right that there still is a problem somewhere. Unless Unity as window manager X client is grabbing the Xorg.input touch device, and if Qt is built to find the device and become another X-windows client of the Xorg input device, there is no reason it shouldn't get touch event

Chase, Thanks. How I interpret your last comment is: it is in Ubuntu but not upstream to Qt (whoever that is now, Nokia or other.) As long as I use Ubuntu's version of Qt (whether the source or libraries) it should work. Also, referring to: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Multitouch , specifically whe

According to some sources, multitouch doesn't work on Ubuntu desktop until version Qt5. Only on Windows desktop or some mobile platforms. http://qt-project.org/forums/viewthread/12664 Just to be clear, Chase above is correct, uTouch should work, but its not necessarily part of Qt? uTouch is for

I had a similar issue and yes: sudo apt-get remove xserver-xorg-input-wacom changes the behaviour. Previously, Settings>Input Devices>Trackpad showed no devices. Now, it shows my Wacom CTT-460. Also, mtdev-test still fails as above but geisttest seems to show the device working with pinches.
