Linux Mint 19/Ubuntu18 多点触摸和手势

August 8, 2019

输入子系统由输入子驱动层(input driver)，系统核心层(input core)和事件处理层(Event Handler)三部分组成。一个输入事件，比如滑动触摸屏都是通过input driver -> input core -> event handler -> user space 到达用户空间传给应用程序。

X server默认使用 libinput 驱动(xf86-input-libinput) 处理输入设备，xf86-input-evdev 和相关驱动是后备方案。配置文件是 /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/ 中的`10-evdev.conf`和 `40-libinput.conf`

Udev由 systemd 通过 xorg-server提供，会自动检测硬件，使用 evdev 或 libinput 处理设备的输入.
```
Input Devices
  /dev/input
```
Input Drivers
```
  xserver-xorg-input-all                驱动包
  xserver-xorg-input-evdev        键盘，触摸屏
  xserver-xorg-input-vmmouse      鼠标
  xserver-xorg-input-wacom        数位板/触摸板
```
  其他
  ```
    xserver-xorg-input-libinput  　  键盘
    xserver-xorg-input-synaptics    触摸板 (即将弃用)
    xserver-xorg-input-joystick  　　　遥杆
    xserver-xorg-input-mtrack         触摸板 （推荐使用）
    xserver-xorg-input-mutrack        触摸板 (年久失修)
    xserver-xorg-input-void           空输入设备
    xserver-xorg-input-xwiimote       Wii设备

Input Conf
  /etc/X11/xorg.conf
  /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/
  /usr/share/X11/xkb

Input Log
  /var/log/Xorg.0.log
```
linux下的触摸手势方案挺多，早先的touchegg，后来的libinput-gestures, 以及最近[gebaar-libinput](https://github.com/Coffee2CodeNL/gebaar-libinput "gebaar-libinput")。当然紧跟libinput上有的xf86-input-mtrack配置更简单。

debian系列用户直接安装对应的驱动包即可，当然也可以手动编译安装最新的版本，地址在文末
```
apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-mtrack 
```
`xinput list`查看自己的触控板标识以及支持情况，比如我的
```
renothing@desktop:~[master]$ xinput list
⎡ Virtual core pointer                          id=2    [master pointer  (3)]
⎜   ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer                id=4    [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad                  id=12   [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ Logitech USB Optical Mouse                id=9    [slave  pointer  (2)]
```
`xinput list 12`
```
        Reporting 7 classes:
                Class originated from: 12. Type: XIButtonClass

懒得做说明，直接贴配置文件`/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-mtrack.conf`：
