Subject: Preferred way for a multitouch driver?
Date: Sun, 11 Apr 2010 18:41:04 +0200 (CEST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.64.1004111828030.29274@butterbrot.org> (raw)
Hello everyone,
I've just bought a Lenovo S10-3t convertible netbook, and now I'm
experimenting with the "multitouch" screen (dual-touch, rather). It's
being recognized as a HID device, and using hid-device-dump, I can nicely
read the reports of both fingers. There's also some hacks floating around
which use xf86-input-hidtouch, but AFAICT that doesn't do any kind of
multitouch.
>From lurking here on the list, I've gathered that the evdev interface by
now fully supports all kinds of multitouch events, so I guess the
preferred way would be a hiddev-to-evdev bridge of some kind, right?
Can somebody point me into the right direction, e.g. to some other driver
which also works that way?
Many thanks,
Florian
