As a follow up to my previous question - how to get touch running in JavaFX on Ubuntu I would like to know where JavaFX should get its touch events from. Research seems to indicate that JavaFX standard reads /dev/input/event0, but even if I link /dev/input/event4 to event0 it does not notice that there are touch events. I can override the system properties com.sun.javafx.touch and com.sun.javafx.multiTouch, but even though the system then reports it does support touch no events are generated and mouse events are not synthesized.

To test if the system in itself recognizes the touch screen I've run chromium-browser --touch-events=enabled and visited a touch website. Multiple touch points were recognized.

Maurice.
