I have a Thinkpad T550 running Ubuntu 14.04. I had to use a newer kernel in order to recognize the Wacom touch screen device (see bug 1433444).
With the "wacom" driver, I experience the same as the bug report description: 1- and 2-finger touches work, but three- and four-finger gestures are not available. With the "evdev" driver, three- and four- finger gestures are available, but 2-finger gestures are gone. The wacom driver, xf86-input-wacom, is supposed to pass 2-finger gestures up to X when they are disabled in the driver (see http://linuxwacom.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Multitouch#Disable_xf86 -input-wacom_In-driver_2FGT_Gestures). I tried adding the Option "Gesture" "off" in 50-wacom.conf. With "Gesture" "off" in 50-wacom.conf, the three- and four-finger gestures are back, but the 2-finger gestures are still missing (same behavior as the "evdev" driver). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1231376 Title: Let touch screens be used under the Wacom driver To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xf86-input-wacom/+bug/1231376/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
