Created attachment 149691 [details] touchpad settings SUMMARY *** i updated to 5.25 and neither is 3 nor 4 finger gesture seem to work for me. i checked settings and got to this page but it does not show any options for these two gestures. is there a way to detect if my touchpad supports the gestures/ is there a compatibility issue/driver issue? is there a "test area" like keyboard has which says what is being pressed? *** OBSERVED RESULT 3 and 4 finger gestures do not work EXPECTED RESULT gestures should work Operating System: KDE neon 5.25 KDE Plasma Version: 5.25.0 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.95.0 Qt Version: 5.15.4 Kernel Version: 5.13.0-48-generic (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 Processors: 4 × Intel® Core™ i7-4600U CPU @ 2.10GHz Memory: 7.7 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: Mesa DRI Intel® HD Graphics 4400 Manufacturer: Dell Inc.

if i might add, the two finger tap setting is not clickable. does this mean a driver issue?
It's not working for me either. Operating System: KDE neon 5.25 to test gesture support, install libinput-tools and run (most probably as root) 'libinput debug-events'. this should output something like the following: ... event5 GESTURE_SWIPE_BEGIN +0.502s 3 event5 GESTURE_SWIPE_UPDATE +0.502s 3 0.22/ 1.89 ( 0.57/ 4.86 unaccelerated) event5 GESTURE_SWIPE_UPDATE +0.509s 3 0.00/ 0.22 ( 0.00/ 0.34 unaccelerated) event5 GESTURE_SWIPE_UPDATE +0.540s 3 0.44/ 2.43 ( 0.45/ 2.49 unaccelerated) event5 GESTURE_SWIPE_UPDATE +0.562s 3 0.34/ 1.59 ( 0.34/ 1.58 unaccelerated) event5 GESTURE_SWIPE_UPDATE +0.577s 3 0.23/ 1.13 ( 0.23/ 1.13 unaccelerated) event5 GESTURE_SWIPE_UPDATE +0.614s 3 0.23/ 2.72 ( 0.23/ 2.72 unaccelerated) event5 GESTURE_SWIPE_UPDATE +0.629s 3 0.23/ 1.02 ( 0.23/ 1.02 unaccelerated) event5 GESTURE_SWIPE_UPDATE +0.637s 3 0.00/ 0.68 ( 0.00/ 0.68 unaccelerated) event5 GESTURE_SWIPE_UPDATE +0.653s 3 0.11/ 1.13 ( 0.11/ 1.13 unaccelerated) event5 GESTURE_SWIPE_UPDATE +0.691s 3 0.00/ 2.83 ( 0.00/ 2.83 unaccelerated) event5 GESTURE_SWIPE_UPDATE +0.713s 3 0.00/ 1.47 ( 0.00/ 1.47 unaccelerated) event5 GESTURE_SWIPE_UPDATE +0.743s 3 0.11/ 2.72 ( 0.11/ 2.72 unaccelerated) event5 GESTURE_SWIPE_UPDATE +0.758s 3 0.00/ 1.02 ( 0.00/ 1.02 unaccelerated) event5 GESTURE_SWIPE_UPDATE +0.787s 3 0.00/ 2.04 ( 0.00/ 2.04 unaccelerated) event5 GESTURE_SWIPE_UPDATE +0.795s 3 0.00/ 0.68 ( 0.00/ 0.68 unaccelerated) event5 GESTURE_SWIPE_END +0.851s 3 ... event5 GESTURE_SWIPE_BEGIN +2.166s 4 event5 GESTURE_SWIPE_UPDATE +2.166s 4 -0.38/16.80 (-0.42/18.84 unaccelerated) event5 GESTURE_SWIPE_UPDATE +2.220s 4 0.24/ 6.05 ( 0.25/ 6.45 unaccelerated) event5 GESTURE_SWIPE_UPDATE +2.237s 4 0.00/ 2.04 ( 0.00/ 2.04 unaccelerated) event5 GESTURE_SWIPE_UPDATE +2.244s 4 0.00/ 1.02 ( 0.00/ 1.02 unaccelerated) event5 GESTURE_SWIPE_UPDATE +2.252s 4 0.00/ 0.68 ( 0.00/ 0.68 unaccelerated) event5 GESTURE_SWIPE_UPDATE +2.268s 4 -0.17/ 1.95 (-0.17/ 1.95 unaccelerated) event5 GESTURE_SWIPE_UPDATE +2.319s 4 -0.34/ 6.62 (-0.34/ 6.62 unaccelerated) event5 GESTURE_SWIPE_UPDATE +2.354s 4 -0.25/ 4.76 (-0.25/ 4.75 unaccelerated) event5 GESTURE_SWIPE_UPDATE +2.378s 4 -0.17/ 3.40 (-0.17/ 3.39 unaccelerated) event5 GESTURE_SWIPE_UPDATE +2.410s 4 -0.51/ 4.50 (-0.51/ 4.50 unaccelerated) event5 GESTURE_SWIPE_UPDATE +2.418s 4 -0.17/ 1.02 (-0.17/ 1.02 unaccelerated) event5 GESTURE_SWIPE_UPDATE +2.547s 4 -0.93/10.70 (-0.93/10.69 unaccelerated) event5 GESTURE_SWIPE_END +2.568s 4 ... the 3/4 in the 4th column means a 3/4 finger swipe.
These gestures only work in the Wayland session.
(In reply to Nate Graham from comment #3) > These gestures only work in the Wayland session. maybe that fact should be added to the announcement. I just double checked but I could not find any reference to 'wayland only'.
nope. i tried in a wayland session and it did not work for me. i tried to run libinput debug-events and do the gestures in both x11 and wayland session but i never got this result event5 GESTURE_SWIPE_BEGIN +0.502s 3 event5 GESTURE_SWIPE_UPDATE +0.502s 3 0.22/ 1.89 ( 0.57/ 4.86 unaccelerated) like the other person who posted that. maybe it is a driver issue on my part?
Sounds like maybe your touchpad doesn't support 4-finger swipes. Do 3-finger swipes to switch virtual desktops work for you on Wayland?
(In reply to Nate Graham from comment #6) > Sounds like maybe your touchpad doesn't support 4-finger swipes. > > Do 3-finger swipes to switch virtual desktops work for you on Wayland? nope. nothing happens. it is a dell e7440 which i think has multitouch drivers on windows https://www.dell.com/support/home/en-in/drivers/driversdetails?driverid=y5y8f&oscode=wt32a&productcode=latitude-e7440-ultrabook it says "Dell Multi-Touch Touchpad Driver" so i assume multi means more than 2? well 2 is also multi but i am not sure
Strange. Two-finger scrolling works though, right? Is the "Slide" effect enabled in System Settings > Workspace Behavior > Desktop Effects?

Not sure, then.
Assuming the touchpad supports more than two touch points, this is definitely a driver problem. I'm not sure where this sort of thing would best be reported, but your distribution or libinput will be a good starting points
(In reply to Nate Graham from comment #3) > These gestures only work in the Wayland session. is there a real reason why that is the case? animation wise all of these seem to exist regardless of X11/Wayland. The ability to poll the touchscreen via libinput is also not dependent on X11/Wayland. So why are these gestures wayland only features?
