Yes, we support both at the same time in the new utouch architecture (which is almost landed in Ubuntu Precise). If we take the go keyboard as an example, the application would subscribe to utouch-geis for a one-touch drag. It would set the thresholds and timeouts appropriately. Then it should listen for touch events from X by selecting for them, or by listening through the toolkit layer (Qt, GTK+, etc). If a gesture is recognized, the application gets a series of gesture slices. The application can further decide if it wants to accept the gesture or not. Within a gesture slice is the ability to retrieve the location of each touch too, so you always have all the data available to you. If the gesture is not recognized, the application will receive the touch events from X or the toolkit. I hope that helps! -- Chase _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~multi-touch-dev Post to : multi-touch-dev@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~multi-touch-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
