Questions tagged [multi-touch]

Questions about Ubuntu's multi-touch features.

This tag deals with questions about Ubuntu's multi-touch features. Some touch surfaces (touchpads, tablets and so on) are able to recognize specific types of contact and/or more than one point of contact, which can be defined as gestures. The gestures can then be used to activate functions or subroutines.

For more information about multi-touch on Ubuntu visit the Multitouch page on the Ubuntu help wiki or the Canonical Multitouch Launchpad page.
