Title:
Let touch screens be used under the Wacom driver
Status in xf86-input-wacom package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I have a Lenovo Thinkpad Twist which is a convertible with touch
screen. In tablet mode it should be possible to easily rotate the
screen oprientation so that it can be used in both landscape and
portrait mode and even without needing to care which edge is at the
bottom and which at the top. See bug 1216065 for further information.
To be able to easily rotate the touch screen coordinate system to
match the screen content, the touch screen should be run under the
wacom driver. In addition, the Wacom driver adds some more gestures to
the touch screen.
At least on my Thinkpad Twist the switchover is easy. One only needs
to add "|Atmel" to the "MatchProduct" line in the "InputClass" section
with Identifier "Wacom class" in
/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-wacom.conf. See also the attached file.
For a quick test (which survives updates and can easily be undone),
copy /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-wacom.conf to
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-wacom.conf and edit this file. Restart X by
rebooting or restarting lightdm.
What gets added:
- Touch coordinate system rotation (bug 1216065)
- Right-click emulation by holding a finger on the place where the right
click should happen and then tapping anywhere else with a second finger, after
that sliding the held down first finger to the desired entry of the context
menu and releasing there.
What gets lost:
- The three-and four-finger gestures described on
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Multitouch. Bug 1227214 needs to get fixed.
