A Video To Show Off X.Org's Multi-Touch Support

[Smorg]

Love how they show off xorg's famous high performance window resizing. "Look, we have shiny multitouch! but windows resize at 2 fps." They really need to fix that crap and/or get their priorities straight.

Even if Vista2 was better though, open source would still be winning, just by being open source and actually accessible.

Yup, proprietary software can never become better because they will never have this extraordinary feature

Pfff... Vista2 do this better...

Lol, glad to see open source powning. Even if Vista2 was better though, open source would still be winning, just by being open source and actually accessible.

Linux multitouch should please any multitouch screen hardware companies a lot, too.

It looks cool but who wants to get finger prints all over the screen?
I try to avoid touching the screen at all costs.
How about dual web cams tracking your hand movements? That would be great for a boxing game.

I second that

There are screens that do not 'smudge'.

So this means this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDadhfHzoLY can be done on linux? Cuz all multitouch video's I've seen with Qt and KDE tech are on Win 7 and I'd love to see it on linux ;-)

I've had no time to check the Qt 4.6 sources yet, but if it can read events from XInput2 then yes it should be possible. Lots of loose ends remain, though.

HTML5 video, please?

Use Google Chrome and install this Chrome extension
