Reading touchegg.conf never ends when using touchegg command in terminal.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

When running touchegg from terminal, touchegg starts to read the touchegg.conf 
file but it never ends, it simply freezes; Of course the application is not 
working and it is important to say that I have not changed the conf file, but 
in the system monitor I can see the process running.

I'am using Ubuntu 11.04 with an i386 architecture and Synaptics trackpad (a new 
one, so I think the application should work), I also had installed utouch 
library.

--Sorry for my bad English, Thank You.

Please, check the FAQ to know if your device is supported: 
http://code.google.com/p/touchegg/wiki/FAQ

Probably your device is not supported and for this reason nothing happens when 
your perform gestures. The app is not freeze, only nothing is printed in the 
terminal.

Hi,thank you for the answer; in that link there is not enough information to 
assure if my device is supported or not, but according to the manufacturer 
specifications of my laptop ( 
http://support.gateway.com/s/notebook/2010/gateway/nv/nv55C/NV55Csp2.shtml ) 
the touchpad has multitouch capabilities.

Besides that I am using a modificated version of Ubuntu 11.04, in this version 
on the mouse options you can select scroll with two fingers (I dont know if 
default Ubuntu 11.04 can do that too) and selecting that option I am hable to 
scroll with two fingers, so at least my touchpad supports two fingers gestures.

And yes you are right, actually the app does not freeze it just seems like for 
some reason can not read the .conf file and did not throws any error, just for 
the record I checked the folder permissions and everything looks fine to me.

--Regards

Hi!

Yes, your PC has a touchpad, but, it looks like in Linux is not supported (in 
Windows are supported), check this page:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Multitouch/HardwareSupport

Only this devices are supported.

Hi, Jose, yes is the same link that it's on the previous link, like I said in 
the previous comment my touchpad is multitouch, and it is supported by Linux 
and Windows, right now I am able to scroll down/up and horizontally with two 
fingers by a mouse configuration that my Ubuntu comes with, so the problem is 
not that linux don't support my touchpad, I think the problem is in touchegg, 
or may be another program is "interfering" I don't know, I guess i will have to 
wait to another release

--Regards

They are a different between scroll support (that is integrated in X11) and 
uTouch support, that is the multitouch stack used by Ubuntu. Your device can be 
supported to make some basic gestures but not with uTouch.

The list of supported hardware by uTouch don't include your device (Gateway EZ 
Pad® multi-gesture touchpad). Anyway, are you using Unity??  Remember that 
Unity makes use of gestures with 3 and 4 fingers:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Multitouch/

If you are using Unity and your device is supported by uTouch, this actions 
will be performed.
