Feature changed by: Will Stephenson (wstephenson) Feature #308604, revision 10 Title: native multitouch x11 support openSUSE-11.3: Evaluation Priority Requester: Important Info Provider: (Novell) Requested by: cristian díaz (moldavio) Description: native multitouch x11 support Discussion: #1: Todd R (theblackcat) (2010-01-05 18:16:24) I think this is an upstream X11 issue that. #2: Markus K (kamikazow) (2010-01-12 02:54:21) (reply to #1) Upstream X.org developers are paid by someone. IIRC that feature was developed by a Novell employee. #3: Vincent Untz (vuntz) (2010-02-10 19:18:29) To have the native multitouch support, we need: * a recent X (I guess this should be okay?) * support in toolkits: gtk+ is done in a git branch (I doubt we want to ship a branch, though), not sure about qt * support in apps Carlos' blog has some information about the status of multitouch in GTK+: http://blogs.gnome.org/carlosg/ #4: Vincent Untz (vuntz) (2010-04-07 18:01:52) (reply to #3) The support should land in the next major version of GTK+ (so it should be in for the release after openSUSE 11.3) #5: Michael Löffler (michl19) (2010-05-12 12:33:05) (reply to #4) That's the GNOME side of life, right? Will how does it look alike for KDE? + #6: Will Stephenson (wstephenson) (2010-05-12 13:25:11) (reply to #5) + Qt has implemented multitouch and supporting gestures in a branch but + are waiting for Xorg "to standardise the feature" before it is + merged. I'm not sure what that means. + Plasma supports multitouch for widget manipulation already, and + multitouch zoom works in most KDE apps (on eg Windows where Qt has + multitouch...). -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/308604
