Hi Everyone,
First post on this forum, but have been a linux user for a while.
I have tried my best to test/get to work my touchscreen’s multitouch capabilities but failed. The touch screen works, and even shows multitouch events in **evtest** but I don’t know how to get it to work in real life. I don’t see **touchegg** or any other testing tools listed in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Multitouch/Testing in openSUSE official repos (and not sure what to install from other places). Can anyone guide me on how to test/get it to work?
