Patola, I do not really know about the internals of touch, I am working on the printing part of Linux. As I bought a laptop with touch screen recently, I wanted to get it to work and started discussing the problem with Maarten Lankhorst (mlankhorst), the maintainer of the xorg-xserver source package, on IRC and he gave me some hints, including updating to 1.14 and applying a huge patch, but before doing this I followed some less invasive hints from him, and this made the simple touch left click reliably working (my package from comment #71, comment #74, comment #77, and comment #92). I asked Maarten yesterday whether he could apply this to Raring, but he says that there are still a lot of problems, like crash of his Nexus 7 and on the linked Freedesktop bug today a comment (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56578#c43) got posted, saying
--------- ok, I'll be honest. this is a giant mess where we potentially access dangling pointers and sorting this out is nasty. my attempts to do so today have failed badly. fix will come, but not too soon I'm afraid --------- So someone really knowing about how this works has to fix it, or Ubuntu has to decide for the Wayland/MIR switchover for the desktop early in the next cycle. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1068994 Title: button1 gets stuck after a while To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/oem-priority/+bug/1068994/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
