** Description changed: + SRU Rationale + ============= + + [Impact] + This is an enabler for fixing bug 978378 in Unity. + Without it, utouch-geis clients (which includes Unity and utouch-qml among others) will have no way of getting the position of individual touch points from a touchscreen in window coordinates and therefore won't be able to know where exactly each touch point lands on the UI. + + [Development Fix] + Quantal is not open yet. + + [Stable Fix] + Check attachment called fix-touch-coordinate-space.patch + + [Test case] + run geisview (from utouch-geis-tools package) on a device with a touchscreen and check that the position of touch points are shown in window coordinates. + + [Regression Potential] + Low. The patch is very small and simple. + + Original Bug Report + =================== + GeisTouches provided by gesture events (GEIS_EVENT_GESTURE_BEGIN, GEIS_EVENT_GESTURE_UPDATE and GEIS_EVENT_GESTURE_END) should be in window coordinates if they come from a direct device (e.g. touchscreens) and in input device coordinates when from indirect devices (e.g. touchpads/trackpads). This should also be documented in geis.h Currently they are coming always in device coordinates.
