Notes to self (and others); Evince, Eog, etc are patched in Ubuntu ('debian/patches/11_grip_gestures.patch') to additionally use a library called "libgrip".
For Evince, pinch to zoom (two fingers) and X/Y scroll (two fingers) both work. This both have a 0.5-second delay before anything happens, and these both are jerky; but they do now work. The stacks used appears to be that: Evince talks to Gtk+ and Grip. Libgrip appears to talks to some other stuff including (I think) Geis. The other stuff including (I think) Geis eventually talks to X11. X11 in-turn talks to the kernel via /dev/input/event* (symlinked from /dev/input/wacom-touch). Per Richard above, you can enable/disable the last step of X11 talking to the kernel and exclusively binding to /dev/input/wacom-touch with: xinput set-prop 'Wacom ISDv4 E6 Finger touch' 'Device Enabled' 0 xinput set-prop 'Wacom ISDv4 E6 Finger touch' 'Device Enabled' 1 however, there's no need to do this as, as two-finger multitouch events appears to be being pass all the way down the stack anyway. For debugging, I found: geisview, GUI that dumps the Gesture availability tree geistest, crashes pygeis, crashes For talking to the kernel; use "xinput set-prop 'Wacom ISDv4 E6 Finger touch' 'Device Enabled' 0" first: mtview, talks to kernel /dev/input directly, not via Grip or Geis input-events, use with raw device number (eg. '8') to get MT events -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/916253 Title: ThinkPad x220 Multi-touch Wacom ISDv4 E6 Finger touch not supported To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/916253/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
