KDE supports multi-touch whereever Qt supports it, which right now is just on Windows 7. X11 does not have multi-touch support yet, but it is proposed to be added in the future. See http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=ODQ4MQ for a first proposal of the specification. I have tried utouch on ubuntu development for Oct 2010 release, as described here: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=ODUxMQ http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=ODUyMw It seems waiting for multi-point X and qt revisions may not be necessary. Does kde plan to look at utouch alternative, which is available now? What's the current status on this? I can't get multitouch to work with kde 4.9.5 (haven't tried 4.10 yet) I do not know the current status of X11 multi-touch support, and whether Qt supports it on X11. You could ask on the qt-interest mailing list. X11 is supposed to support multitouch for a long time already: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-input-evdev/log/?qt=grep&q=multitouch As for Qt on X.. I've seen conflicting reports and no clear information. Their touch examples are not working for me. I guess I'll try to ask them. |
