Okay. The breaking up of touch contacts was surprising. I attached a photo here: http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/12282 > All sensor types have some forms of aliasing.

You may find my updated activity version useful in testing: http://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/addon/4611/ I modified it to keep displaying the last touches. Single-touch works pretty well already, tweaking multi-touch sounds good :) - Bert - ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel

There are of course limitations, but we are in the process of tuning and tightening things on the IR. All sensor types have some forms of aliasing. If you know how, you can confuse capacitive sensors too :-) m -- martin.langh...@gmail.com mar...@laptop.org -- Software Architect - OLPC - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
Re: [Sugar-devel] Multi-touch test activity
Ah, thanks. I wasn't even going to file a bug report about the aliasing because that is a limitation inherent to the kind of sensor we have. Thinking about this a little bit more, only pinch/zoom will be fine. Rotation can still go in the wrong direction if the driver guesses the intersections wrongly. - Bert - On 2012-11-05, at 01:55, fors...@ozonline.com.au wrote: > See also http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/12161 > > Tony > >> Hi folks, >> >> I made a simple Sugar activity to test the XO-4's multi-touch screen: >> >> http://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/addon/4611/ >> >> It works fine most of the time.
