Sometimes xswipe needs four finger swipe to remember about three fingers swipe #23

Ok, this is something kind of hard to explain, but works like this. Most of the time swipe gestures work fine, but suddenly, it stops registering three finger swipes, until I do a four finger swipe, moment that it starts registering three finger swipes again.

Is there any way to debug why this is happening?

I got this too.

If you debug xSwipe, Smart::Comments is useful. please uncomment for use Smart::Comments in xSwipe.pl.

#debug
- #use Smart::Comments;
+ use Smart::Comments;

I have the same problem. Is there already any solution?

iberianpig commented 9 years ago

Which DE are you using?

I also noticed this bug. I'm on Arch running a mix of budgie and pantheon components (gala window manager on budgie-session, basically).

I have this problem too (tried on Kubuntu and Arch+Plasma 5). I don't think that the bug is in xSwipe. Maybe the problem is in synclient. If you try:

synclient -m 100

You will notice that, when the problem occurs, if you swipe with 3 fingers, synclient's output is (something like):

753.159 2873 2519 80 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 00000000 753.259 2955 2303 80 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 00000000 753.359 3017 2095 80 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 00000000 753.459 3141 1822 70 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 00000000

So, it somehow thinks that you are using 2 fingers instead of 3.

I forked xserver-xorg-input-synaptics (https://github.com/intersimone999/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics) and tried to update it making a diff with the latest official driver. Now xSwipe seems work.

Can someone help me to test it properly?

AlexD97 commented 8 years ago

How can I install it on Arch Linux in a way, I am able to uninstall it again?

AlexD97 commented 8 years ago

Would it be possible, that you make a package for the aur?

intersimone999 commented 8 years ago

I added a BUILDPKG to my repository (it's like https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xf86-input-synaptics-git but with a different git repository). If someone confirms that it works, I will make a pull request to dieghen89, so that no new AUR package will be needed.

AlexD97 commented 8 years ago

The touchpad works with the new driver, but the problem is still there.

I also got this problem after upgrading Ubuntu 14.04 to 16.04. Additionally, sometimes when I want to scroll up or down with two fingers, the screen suddenly jumps to the top of page, document etc.

And sometimes 3 fingers work but don't look which direction I am swiping to (I am swiping right but it makes an up).
