Linux supports multi-touch operations.

Article title: Linux supports multi-touch operations. Linux is a technology channel of the IT lab in China. Includes basic categories such as desktop applications, Linux system management, kernel research, embedded systems, and open source.

Although most people do not buy a device with a touch screen, touch operations have become popular with Windows 7. However, Linux currently does not support this function, which makes many users very depressed. However, Benjamin Tissoires, Stephen Chatty, and Gilles Tabart from the ENAC Interactive Computing lab bring good news, they successfully demonstrated touch operations on a computer using the Linux system (Fedora 12.

Tissoires and others modified the system kernel and the X.org evdev driver, and implemented touch operations on existing Linux applications on specific hardware platforms. However, this does not mean that Linux began to officially support this function, this is where developers are exploring in this direction.

The system and platform configurations are as follows:

-Linux kernel 2.6.31 and later;

-Broadcom 5974 touch pad or NTrig Surface, 3 M, macro? T230H, DiamondTouch panel, or Asus EeePC T91MT;

-Stantum MTP, Stantum HID, 3 M, macro? , Asus or DiamondTouch driver;

-X.org version X11R7.5 (Fedora 12 );

-The X.org evdev driver and multi-touch management client developed by Benjamin.
