Title: Linux gets multitouch support Post by: Alex on December 23, 2009, 05:53:05 PM Linux gets multitouch support
Regardless of the fact that the majority of people don't even own a touch capable screen, multitouch is still something that Windows 7 users across the world are privy to. If the screen can support it, it'll work. Linux users haven't been as fortunate… until now. Liliputing reports that the ENAC Interactive Computing Laboratory has put together a video showing off multitouch support on a computer running Linux (Fedora 12). The "hack" allows existing applications to be used with a multitouch display. This is done through modifying the kernel, patching the X.org evdev driver, and using supported hardware. While this is by no means an official release of multitouch support, it's clearly a step in the right direction.
