So now I've read through Peter Hutterer's blog, where he explains, how to get multitouch events from C code, but I'm rather confused. As far as I understand, StumpWM listens to events from X server using CLX library, and then dispatches those events to opened windows. From that I'd expect, that CLX would be heavily using FFI's to call C-functions, but the only C-related code there seems to be in the socket.c file. And absence of touch* events in CLX's DECLARE-EVENT macros seems to indicate, that there's no multitouch support already in CLX.

So:
1) does event-dispatching indeed occur like this (X server -> StumpWM -> windows), or windows receive events somehow directly from X? 2) How does CLX manage to avoid all this fuss with FFI-ying bunch of C-functions? Perhaps, it's using some yet more lower-level API?

    Hello everyone,

    I've recently bought x86 tablet and managed to run on it linux +
    SBCL + StumpWM just fine.
    However, interaction still heavily relies on keyboard, and I want
    to make it, somewhat useable in 'touchscreen-only' mode)
    I've quickly hacked
    https://github.com/mabragor/stump-touchy-mode-line, which,
    together with TouchEgg launched
    at startup, makes the whole setup useable.

    So now I'm aimed at proper multitouch support within StumpWM, so
    the question is: is anybody interested in this
    other than me?

    Best regards,
    Alex
