[Linuxwacom-discuss] adjusting gesture sensitivity - and more

[Jeff E. <jef...@ao...>]

I'm using Ubuntu 11.04, with the 2.6.38-11 kernel module.  I've got
a Bamboo Pen&Touch CTH-460K, and have tried out the Gnome and Xfce4
environments.  I have a couple questions.  OK, a WHACK of questions.

#1  When I use the scroll or zoom gestures, the applications react to
TINY motions, such that the gestures are not controllable.  I'm looking
at the list of settings displayed by xsetwacom, but it's not obvious to
me what values I should alter.

#2  When dragging my finger on the surface, moving the cursor, I seem to
generate a lot of drag events.  I guessed that increasing TapTime
(minimum time?) would help; but from 100 to 400, I still seem to
generate the tap-drag.  Should I be adjusting the pressure curve as
well?

#3  I have trouble with the single tap (left click) gesture.  It only
works if I do it right after a cursor movement.  If my finger has been
off the pad for more than a second, a single tap does nothing.  A double
tap will make a left click, but can also start a click-drag if I drift.


These ones aren't important, I was just curious:

#4  I was hoping to get scroll/wheel behaviour with the pen.  The X
mouse driver has options to emulate a wheel when a button is held down,
while the mouse is moved.  But I don't see this under X's 'wacom'.  Any
suggestions?

#5  Assigning "X events" to buttons: where would I read up on what those
are?   I wonder if this could help me with question #4, or to toggle the
"Touch" setting.

#6  I really like the corporate-Windoze-driver gestures for fast left or
right clicking, by detecting *where* the second finger is dropped - is
there any future for this in linuxwacom?  I remember reading that there
is also a 'multi-touch' effort that may merge or kill linuxwacom.
