| - | ==multi-point-touch==
| + | * [[User:Jketreno/multi-point-touch|Multi-Point-Touch on MeeGo]] |
| - | During the MeeGo Conference I gave a presentation on multi-point-touch support on MeeGo ([http://conference2010.meego.com/session/multi-touch-meego-hardware-user overview and video] [http://conference2010.meego.com/sites/all/files/sessions/meego-conference-2010-multi-point-touch.odp slides]). As mentioned during that presentation, to add multi-point-touch to Qt applications running on top of MeeGo 1.1 requires a few changes.
| + | * [[User:Jketreno/content|Improving MeeGo Content Management]] |
| - | | + | * [[User:Jketreno/scaling|A Density Independent UI on MeeGo]] |
| - | The components that need to be changed are:
| + | * [[User:Jketreno/theme-assets|Theme Assets]] |
| - | * Kernel -- You need kernel touch drivers that are in sync with upstream. As of January 1st 2011, MeeGo Trunk has the correct kernel drivers.
| + | * [[User:Jketreno/meego-image-resize|MeeGo Image Resize script]] |
| - | * Qt -- You need a version of Qt that has the XInput2.0 patches applied | + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | '''NOTE''': If you had previously install the multipointtouchplugin, you need to remove it via one of these methods:
| + | |
| - | zypper remove multipointtouchplugin
| + | |
| - | or
| + | |
| - | rm /usr/lib/qt4/plugins/libmultipointtouchplugin.so
| + | |
| - | If you do not remove that plugin, touch will not work correctly with the XInput2.0 enabled version of Qt.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | New components:
| + | |
| - | * mtdev -- Library to translate kernel protocol A and B to protocol B, adding tracking information
| + | |
| - | * xf86-input-mtev -- X input driver that communicates with mtdev to obtain multi-point data from the kernel | + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | To get the above, you can add my home project:
| + | |
| - | cd /etc/zypp/repos.d
| + | |
| - | sudo wget http://download.meego.com/live/home:/jketreno/Trunk/home:jketreno.repo
| + | |
| - | sudo sed -i -e 's,^gpg,#gpg,g' home:jketreno.repo
| + | |
| - | zypper refresh
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Next, force a re-installation of the packages provided from my home project:
| + | |
| - | zypper install -f --from=home_jketreno mtdev xf86-input-mtev
| + | |
| - | and then also force update these packages for Qt from my home project:
| + | |
| - | zypper install -f --from=home_jketreno \
| + | |
| - | libqtcore4 libqtdbus4 libqtdeclarative4 libqtdeclarative4-folderlistmodel \
| + | |
| - | libqtdeclarative4-gestures libqtdeclarative4-particles libqtdesigner4 \
| + | |
| - | libqtgui4 libqthelp4 libqtnetwork4 libqtopengl4 libqtscript4 \
| + | |
| - | libqtscripttools4 libqtsql4 libqtsql4-sqlite libqtsvg4 libqttest4 libqtxml4 \
| + | |
| - | libqtxmlpatterns4 qt-demos qt-qmake qt-qmlviewer
| + | |
| - | On my system I only install libqtgui4, but I don't really know which other Qt packages may depend on the internal X11 changes my patches made, so the above installs all of the Qt packages. If you want to try the minimal set, you can run this:
| + | |
| - | zypper install -f --from=home_jketreno libqtgui4
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | During the forced installation it will prompt you to switch to the versions of the various packages provided from the above repository, and may indicate the packages are downgrades (I haven't built Qt in my home project as many times as the version of Qt in Trunk.) Accept the changes, and reboot.

| - | ==enabling a native application==
| + | |
| - | Prior to having patches to Qt to add XInput2.0 support, applications had to load a plugin that would connect to the X event queue and process the XInput2.0 events. That is no longer necessary and applications will now just work.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | ==enabling a QML application==
| + | |
| - | For gestures, you should use the qml-gesturearea project from qt-labs to add multi-point touch gestures to your QML applications.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | ==qml-gesturearea==
| + | |
| - | As Frederik Gladhorn indicated during [http://conference2010.meego.com/session/gestures-qt his talk] at the MeeGo Conference in Dublin, the folks over at Qt have been working on an improved QML GestureArea component.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | You can pull and play with what they're cooking as follows:
| + | |
| - | git clone git://gitorious.org/qt-labs/qml-gesturearea.git
| + | |
| - | git clone git://gitorious.org/qt-labs/qml-gestures-examples.git
| + | |
| - | If you are building qml-gesturearea with a version of Qt prior to 4.7.1, you may need to patch it to get it to build:
| + | |
| - | cd qml-gesturearea
| + | |
| - | sed -i -e 's,q->timeout(),700,g' qdeclarativegesturerecognizers.cpp
| + | |
| - | qmake
| + | |
| - | make && sudo make install
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | ==core pointer==
| + | |
| - | If you do nothing, X will default to binding the touch device to the Core Pointer. This means that as you move your finger around, mouse events will be generated, the cursor will move, etc. If X is already running, you can use the xinput utility to "float" the touch device. On the Lenovo S10, running 'xinput list' shows something like the following:
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | ⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
| + | |
| - | ⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
| + | |
| - | ⎜ ↳ Cando Corporation Cando 10.1 Multi Touch Panel with Controller id=13 [slave pointer (2)]
| + | |
| - | ⎜ ↳ SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad id=16 [slave pointer (2)]
| + | |
| - | ...
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Looking at the above, you can see the touch device (Cando Corporation...) is device id 13. To float that input device, run:
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | xinput float 13
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | and verify that touching the screen no longer moves the mouse pointer.
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | To perform the following every time you start X, you can add:
| + | |
| - | Option "SendCoreEvents" "false"
| + | |
| - | to the InputClass section for the device, for example you can place the following in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d as 60-cando.conf:
| + | |
| - | Section "InputClass"
| + | |
| - | Identifier "Cando Multi Touch Panel"
| + | |
| - | MatchVendor "Cando"
| + | |
| - | MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
| + | |
| - | Driver "mtev"
| + | |
| - | Option "SendCoreEvents" "false"
| + | |
| - | EndSection
| + | |
| - | | + | |
| - | Having the input device disconnected from the Core Pointer, combined with the FocusIn/FocusOut mechanism in the multipointtouchplugin means that window focus will have to be given to windows via an actual mouse pointer (since X will no longer be parsing touch input as an Core pointer input device) or by other means (pressing the application in the app switcher, for example)

| - | ==meego packages you may need==
| + | |
| - | To perform the above steps on this wiki, a new MeeGo installation may need a few utilities and packages installed:
| + | |
| - | zypper install git patch xorg-x11-utils-xinput
| + | |
