Ubuntu are also trying to include this but are concerned, as I imagine the opensuse devs will be, by the scheduled release date being so close to distro deadlines for their spring release. However, if it is not possible to include 1.10 would it be possible to do what Ubuntu have discussed, and back-port the entire input layer from X.Org Server 1.10 into their 1.9 build so they can have the latest multi (http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=ODcyMg#) - touch work. * Thu, Jan 20 2011, openSUSE 11.4 Milestone 6 release * Thu, Feb 10 2011, openSUSE 11.4 RC 1 release * Fri, Feb 25 2011, openSUSE 11.4 RC 2 release * Thu, Mar 03 2011, openSUSE 11.4 Goldmaster * Thu, Mar 10 2011, openSUSE 11.4 Public Release + Discussion: + #1: Jedi Beeftrix (jedibeeftrix) (2010-11-14 15:52:33) + looks like X Input 2.1 multi-touch functionality is complete, but won't + be merged in time to make x.server 1.10 anyway: + + http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=ODc4NA + + however, the developer does say: + + ""The xserver source code is essentially 1.9 plus a backport of the X + input ABI 12 work.
