Hi all, The past few weeks have been challenging for xi 2.1 development on Ubuntu. The new xserver 1.10 has been pushed to natty and, though this really helps us overall, the transition has impacted installability of packages from the xorg-unstable ppa.
I come bearing good news! I have remade all the packages in the ppa as patched versions of the natty X packages. This means we are close to pushing things into Ubuntu proper! I would encourage everyone who is interested to give the packages some testing. Here's an overview of how to install the ppa: $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:utouch-team/xorg-unstable Create and/or edit /etc/apt/preferences.d/utouch-team-xorg-unstable to include: Package: * Pin: release o=LP-PPA-utouch-team-xorg-unstable Pin-Priority: 1001 $ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-core Hopefully this will bring in all the new packages for you. Don't be alarmed if some of the packages are version downgraded during this process. If you have been following the ppa work so far, note that the Pin-Priority has been increased from 991 to 1001. Also, you should remove the xorg-edgers ppa at this time. I suggest using ppa-purge to do so. Since the last release of packages, I have also merged in gesture support from our uTouch stack. You can now register for gestures through uTouch and multitouch through XI 2.1. You can even register for gestures and multitouch on the same window! I also fixed a small bug that could cause the server to crash when using a multitouch trackpad. At this time I would like to receive any issues or bug reports on this mailing list. We will transition to launchpad for bug reports once the work is in Ubuntu proper, but due to things still being in flux I think reports are better here for now.
