In order to start testing, you should install utouch:

 $ sudo apt-get install utouch

The utouch metapackage will pull in everything you need. It will be installed by default on UNE ("apt-get install ubuntu-netbook" for the full experience on your desktop, or "apt-get install utouch" for the touch-related pieces only).

Basic resources

• Multitouch/Testing/CheckingMTDevice - How to find your device ID and test it for multi-touch capability

• Multitouch/Testing/UsingGesturetest - Using the gesturetest tool to see if you're getting expected uTouch events

• Multitouch/Testing/EvtestCapture - A useful tool for assisting X/driver/grail hackers in the debugging of touch and/or hardware issues

• Multitouch/Testing/uTouchEvEmu - Recording and playback of touch events and gestures; extremely useful for debugging

• Multitouch/Testing/UsingMtview - A visual feedback tool that shows touch points, sizes, disconnects, offsets, etc.

• Multitouch/Testing/UsingUCube - Another visual feedback tool, but instead of touch points checking, does gesture checking

• Multitouch/Testing/UsingGinn - A tool to provide multitouch support in legacy applications without recoding

• Multitouch/Calibration/Ntrig - A tool for calibrating N-Trig hardware.

Test tracker

We have a test tracker to gather testing results from the community: http://multitouch.qa.ubuntu.com

If you want to participate in our testing efforts, please, check the testing instructions. Take into account that we also need people with non-MT input hardware to test for possible regressions.

Testcases

• NonMTRegressionTesting

• Single-touch testing

• Multitouch testcases

• Multitouch/PyMT - Testing multi-touch with Python MT

• Pairing and multi-touch demo using PyMT
