My guess is that X is sending button 1 press and release events, and that GTK has internally remapped button 1 to secondary and button 2 to primary for left-handed mousing. GTK needs to somehow determine if the XInput slave device (i.e. the physical device) is a touchscreen or not. Then it can interpret the button presses appropriately. Unfortunately, I don't know if it can do this without some of the XInput multitouch additions, which aren't upstream in X.org yet. There may be a way to do it with XInput 1.x device types, but I'm not as familiar with it.
If my guess is correct, this has nothing to do with utouch or even multitouch support. Any touchscreen in X would cause this behavior. If my guess is incorrect, well then I have no clue what's going on :). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/701086 Title: utouch does not recognize that I use a left-handed mouse Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: When I touch the screen, utouch reacts as if I were using the right button of my mouse (contextual menus, for instance) instead of the normal button. --- Architecture: amd64 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.10 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 10.10 "Maverick Meerkat" - Release amd64 (20101007) MachineType: Acer Aspire Z5700 MtDevices: QUANTA OpticalTouchScreen: /dev/input/event7 Package: utouch 1.1 PackageArchitecture: all ProcCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.35-23-generic root=UUID=72b5fcae-c035-4b41-96d8-5ac2dee8a345 ro quiet splash ProcEnviron: PATH=(custom, user) LANG=fr_CA.utf8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.35-23.41-generic 2.6.35.7 Tags: maverick hci touch Uname: Linux 2.6.35-23-generic x86_64 UserGroups: adm admin cdrom dialout lpadmin plugdev sambashare dmi.bios.date: 06/02/2010 dmi.bios.vendor: American Megatrends Inc. dmi.bios.version: P01-A3 dmi.board.name: Aspire Z5700 dmi.board.vendor: Acer dmi.chassis.type: 13 dmi.chassis.vendor: Acer dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnAmericanMegatrendsInc.:bvrP01-A3:bd06/02/2010:svnAcer:pnAspireZ5700:pvr:rvnAcer:rnAspireZ5700:rvr:cvnAcer:ct13:cvr: dmi.product.name: Aspire Z5700 dmi.sys.vendor: Acer --- Architecture: amd64 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.10 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 10.10 "Maverick Meerkat" - Release amd64 (20101007) MachineType: Acer Aspire Z5700 MtDevices: QUANTA OpticalTouchScreen: /dev/input/event7 Package: utouch 1.1 PackageArchitecture: all ProcCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.35-23-generic root=UUID=72b5fcae-c035-4b41-96d8-5ac2dee8a345 ro quiet splash ProcEnviron: PATH=(custom, user) LANG=fr_CA.utf8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.35-23.41-generic 2.6.35.7 Tags: maverick hci touch Uname: Linux 2.6.35-23-generic x86_64 UserGroups: adm admin cdrom dialout lpadmin plugdev sambashare dmi.bios.date: 06/02/2010 dmi.bios.vendor: American Megatrends Inc. dmi.bios.version: P01-A3 dmi.board.name: Aspire Z5700 dmi.board.vendor: Acer dmi.chassis.type: 13 dmi.chassis.vendor: Acer dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnAmericanMegatrendsInc.:bvrP01-A3:bd06/02/2010:svnAcer:pnAspireZ5700:pvr:rvnAcer:rnAspireZ5700:rvr:cvnAcer:ct13:cvr: dmi.product.name: Aspire Z5700 dmi.sys.vendor: Acer To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/701086/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
