Multi-touch functionality in Maverick

this section should be added to keyboard and mouse

We also need to check how this is installed.

Are there any configuration tools and do they only get installed if you have the correct hardware.

Hey Chris,

Thanks for the email. I'm cc'ing Fabian since he and I have been working
closely together on putting docs in place for the community. Everything
we have so far is up here:
 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Multitouch

There are also sub-pages linked from that page, so the volume of
information is growing.

That being said, I don't think we have anything like what you might be
wanting from a development perspective; it's fairly early in the project
for that.

However, I would *love* to hear your thoughts on how uTouch could
provide more of what you need. The three of us can even put together
enough points for a UDS session in Orlando.

So, take a look at the wiki, and let me know your thoughts. I will
easily and gladly accept any criticisms about the wiki, suggestions for
improvement, or requests for new/better information. We want our info to
be as easily accessible and digestible as possible.

Thanks,

d

<ChrisWoollard> does anybody know how it works, and how much we need to cover?

<dutchie> nobody's got any multitouch stuff to play with
<jenkins> I think mention it, but unless anyone knows how it works then we can't go into much detail
<ChrisWoollard> that is my problem
<ChrisWoollard> fair enough
