Landlord into a ThinkPad T450s, touch Panel support 4 touch control, installed ubuntu14.04 LTS, touch panel only left two fingers sliding, slightly uncomfortable, a variety of Google, Baidu.

I really found a way.

First learned that Touchegg, but all kinds of installation is not on, tossing my heart Gio, finally accidentally in the know on a partner said his computer with xswipe done.

He turned to Xswipe and found the artifact on GitHub on the Open source project website. Portal, or copy address: Https://github.com/iberianpig/xSwipe to the Address bar open, may open very slowly, landlord back up the files to download, put at the end of the article.

The official documentation is in English, although the reader is recommended to read the original article, but in order to take care of English poor small partners, I found a Chinese blog (point I visit), or copy address: http://loliko.me/ zai-linuxzhong-tian-jia-hong-mo-ban-shou-shi/to Address bar open

The following is a description of the documentation on GitHub:

Xswipe

Xswipe is multitouch gesture recognizer. This script does your Linux PC able to recognize swipes like a Macbook.

Usage

Before running the script, you must first do some preparations.

1. Download Xswipe
2. Install X11::guitest
3. Enable Shmconfig

1. Download Xswipe

Type below code, download xswipe from GitHub

$ cd ~$ wget https://github.com/iberianpig/xSwipe/archive/master.zip$ unzip master.zip

2. Install X11::guitest

To install Libx11-guitest-perl from Synaptic Package Manager Or run the script on the terminal run as

$ sudo apt-get install libx11-guitest-perl

Note:if using Ubuntu14.04, or laterinstall older version Synaptics driver, is the compatible with Xswipe.

CD xserver-xorg-input-synaptics$./autogen.sh$./configure--exec_prefix=/usr$ make$ sudo make install

3. Enable Shmconfig

Open/etc/x11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf with your favorite the text editor and edit it to enable Shmconfig

$ sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf

Note: You'll need to create the/etc/x11/xorg.conf.d/directory and create 50-synaptics.conf if it doesn ' t exist yet.$ sudo mkdir /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/

/etc/x11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf

Section "InputClass"Identifier "evdev touchpad catchall"Driver "synaptics"MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"MatchIsTouchpad "on"Option "Protocol" "event"Option "SHMConfig" "on"EndSection

To reflect Shmconfig, restart your session.

That's it for preparation.

To run Xswipe, type below code on terminal.

Note:you should run xswipe.pl in same directory as "Eventkey.cfg".

You can use the "swipe" with 3 or 4 fingers, they can call an event. Additionally, some gestures is avilable.

• edge-swipe : Swipe with 2 fingers from outside edge (need-to-enable with option).
• long-press : Hold pressure for 0.5 seconds with 3 or 4 fingers.

Option

• -d RATE: rate was sensitivity to swipe. Default value is 1. Shorten swipe-length by half (e.g., $ perl xSwipe.pl -d 0.5 )
• -m INTERVAL: INTERVAL is what often synclient monitor changes to the touchpad state. Default value is ten (ms). Set 50ms as Monitoring-span. (e.g., $ perl xSwipe.pl -m 50 )
• -n: Natural Scroll like a Macbook, use "/nscroll/eventkey.cfg".
• -e: Enable edge-swipe

I follow the instructions after installing Xswipe, proceed to the last step

  perl ~/xswipe-master/xswipe.pl  
 
 encountered an error message 
  "Can ' t locate smart/comments.pm in < Span class= "mention" > @INC   (need to install the Smart::comments module) ( @INC   Contains:/etc/perl/usr/local/lib/perl/5.18.2/usr/local/share/perl/5.18.2/usr/lib/perl5/usr/share/perl5/usr/lib /perl/5.18/usr/share/perl/5.18/usr/local/lib/site_perl.) at/home/jackson/xswipe-master/xswipe.pl line 15. " 
 
    It really hurts, and every last minute there's a problem. Baidu no fruit, and finally Google gave me the answer, the original here: https://forum.teksyndicate.com/t/perl-smart-comments/86880 
 
 The way to do this is to type the following command under Terminal 
 sudo cpan-i smart::comments 
 
  at this time to normal networking, landlord with proxy mode of the network, all kinds of errors, do not know the specific reasons where, Finally use the mobile phone to open the WiFi to the computer, love dearly ah (don't ask why I do not have WiFi, the school does not give freshman campus network) 
 No unexpected words, should be executed after the execution of the command, it is done 
 use 

perl ~/xSwipe-master/xSwipe.pl
