switch from xf86-input-nextwindow to evdev input for multitouch #14

how to switch from xf86-input-nextwindow to evdev input ? because it supports one onw touch but evdev supports multitouch. xf86-input-nextwindow supports only single touch but in dmonad/nwfermi it's mentioned that avdec recognises more than one fingers, i followed your tutorial, how can i disable xf86-input-nextwindow and replace it with evdev ?

I don't think this will work but you can give it a try.

Easiest would be to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-nwfermi.conf and change the Driver line to Driver "evdev" and check your xorg log to check what driver is in use.

someone shares this patched version supports multitouch with touchegg daemon : https://lirein.org/_downloads/nwfermi/

I will try it out today by a complete reinstall and later report if it's working... [I am currently on linux mint 21.3]

@tinkermaniac Did you had any success in getting multitouch working?

tinkermaniac commented 1 week ago

nope, it didn't work ;-; . I tried different versions, the one which was on launchpad (labelled as multitouch) didn't work too. Though I found a fix for windows, a drivers by medion corporation support multitouch. Some small changes are required in the config if it's not one of the supported screens or a part of median akoya series.
