[Bug 701086] Re: utouch does not recognize that I use a left-handed mouse
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 Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/701086 Title: utouch does not recognize that I use a left-handed mouse To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/701086/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Chase, could you explain what the issue is and what the GNOME tools should do differently? ** Changed in: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) Importance: Medium => Low -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/701086 Title: utouch does not recognize that I use a left-handed mouse To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/701086/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I think I know what the problem is, but it's more an issue with the way the gnome mouse preferences work.

[Bug 701086] Re: utouch does not recognize that I use a left-handed mouse
Chase, As I understand it, this happens when the user selects "Left-handed" in the mouse configuration application. Once that is done, the mouse buttons are inversed as desired, but this has the unfortunate effect of causing the touch screen to do secondary mouse clicks instead of primary. Are you not able to reproduce this behaviour? ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Expired => New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/701086 Title: utouch does not recognize that I use a left-handed mouse To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/701086/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Yes, this is still an issue.

[Bug 701086] Re: utouch does not recognize that I use a left-handed mouse
It could be that there's a fix for this in Ubuntu Natty. You can test this by downloading the current beta release of Natty, put it on a usb drive using usb-creator, then booting from it to test. You don't need to install Natty to test it out. Finding out if this is still an issue in Natty will help us find a fix for this issue.
