Support for general multitouch device/screen on Linux #224

I'm running a DELL fullHD multitouch screen on Linux (UbuntuStudio). Multitouch events work as tested with mtview

I cannot seem to make SMT work with this device. I hope I'm missing something! Is such a device supported with SMT?

novadeviator commented 9 years ago

perhaps it might help to know that all 'input event' devices on linux have their /dev/input/event* device mount point. so a mouse is /dev/input/event4, while the touch-screen is /dev/input/event12. is there a way to specify this in SMT?

We don't have that model but we do have a Dell multitouch screen in the lab. We will test it and get back to you.
