Lifebook B Series Touchscreen Driver. Get Mac-Like Scrolling and Gestures on a Windows Laptop - multitouch - Lifehacker. Add multitouch gesture support to a TouchPad-equipped laptop. Multitouch interfaces provide a great deal of benefits for integrating new interaction modes within applications. Newer hardware and drivers on Mac OS X and Microsoft® Windows® allow for a variety of gestures beyond point and click that create more efficient application navigation. This article provides tools and code needed to add some of this new gesture support on older Linux®-enabled hardware. Building on the output of the synclient program, the Perl code presented here allows you to assign specific application functions to "Three-Finger Swipe," as well as open- and close-pinch gestures.
Requirements Hardware The code presented here is designed for use with a computer equipped with a Synaptics TouchPad only and happened to be developed on an IBM® ThinkPad T30. Software You need a modern Linux kernel with evdev support. You also need the Time::HiRes module from CPAN to provide subsecond timing control for processing TouchPad events.
