scroll and pinch not working, Dell XPS one 27 (2710) touchscreen

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hey,

Following works: 
 - 5 fingers tap -> close window
 - 3 fingers drag up -> maximize window
 - 3 fingers drag down -> minimize window

Does not work:
 - 2 fingers drag scroll -> scrolls desktop not window (changing virtual desktop)
 - 2 fingers drag left/right move window -> no respons
 - 2 fingers pinch for zoom
 - 2 fingers rotate

What seems to be happening is that the messages are not send to the correct 
window. The gestures are always recognized but I do not see much happining 
appart from the desktop switches when scrolling inside a window.

Gesture output 2 finger drag down inside the "konsole" app:

[+] New gesture:
        Type      ->  "DRAG"
        Fingers   ->  2
        Direction ->  "DOWN"
        Action    ->  "SCROLL"
        App Class ->  "Konsole"
        Gesture Start
        Gesture Update 0 "Drag"
        Gesture Update 0 "Drag"
        Gesture Update 0 "Drag"
        Gesture Update 0 "Drag"
        Gesture Update 0 "Drag"
        Gesture Update 0 "Drag"
        Gesture Update 0 "Drag"
        Gesture Update 0 "Drag"
        Gesture Finish

Maybe another important side note, when doing a gesture on the touchscreen and 
using the mouse again, the cursor is always located on the lower right corner. 
I need to move the cursor back up.

I am using Debian Wheezy, KDE 4.8.4
The experimental xinput-evdev driver (1:2.7.1-1) with multitouch support.

I have compiled frame, grail, geiss and touchegg from latest source.

Please, try to run this commands:

    $  synclient TapButton2=0
    $  synclient ClickFinger2=0
    $  synclient HorizTwoFingerScroll=0
    $  synclient VertTwoFingerScroll=0

The same problem? Anyway, I recomend you respect the default 2 fingers gestures 
(basically scroll) and use up to 3 fingers with Touchégg.

About the touch screen, I haven't got one, for this reason I can not test 
Touchégg in one and solve problems... :S

Thank you for your reply.

It does not work: "Couldn't find synaptics properties. No synaptics driver 
loaded?"
So the problem remains.

What do you mean respect the default 2 fingers gestures?

I am a programmer. If you give a few pointers I could take a look into it.

I think that this is because you are using evdev or similar driver instead of  
synaptics driver.
In Ubuntu, the driver could be configured in "/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d", 
check https://code.google.com/p/touchegg/wiki/ConfigureDevices

You need to use synaptics (not evdev!!)

> What do you mean respect the default 2 fingers gestures?

With synaptics driver you can make scroll with two fingers without use third 
party tools like Touchégg. Remember to check the FAQ to be able to configure 3 
finger gestures with this driver:

Indeed I am using the evdev driver. I was not aware I needed to use synaptics. 
All the configuration examples on the page you have referenced are using the 
evdev driver ( I've read and tried everything I have found before posting).

I will try it and get back to you

Yes, but with Ubuntu 10.10, with the new uTouch stack versions (2011 and above) 
it's recomended to use synaptics.

Anyway, I don't know where is the problem, you can try to ask in the uTouch 
page:
https://launchpad.net/canonical-multitouch

The uTouch developers probably could help you better than me.
