Ubuntu 14.04 multi touch screen support

Just installed 14.04. It seems to be converting all my screen touch gestures to mouse gestures. And it only supports one point touch. It is supposed to support ten touch points (tested with windows 8.1).

Am I missing something here? Do I have to install some kind of package? Or is it just not supported?

This is not a problem with "multitouch", it is a problem with "touch".

Before the 14.04 update, the touchscreen was interpreted as another mouse. After the update it is not, but unfortunately Chromium is not reporting touch-events. This means that no graphical web app can be used with Ubuntu on a touch screen.

I managed to make it work on my computer by starting Chromium with the command:

chromium-browser --touch-events=enabled

I just got myself a laptop with a touch screen and have been thinking the same thing. I haven't tried it myself yet,but I just found this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Multitouch

Three fingers seems to be the answer, instead of two for zoom and stuff.

You might be able to use Ginn to setup your own multitouch actions: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Multitouch/Ginn
