About
The Wiki
This resource features information about multitouch support for Ubuntu, including:
- drivers for a range of hardware
- a gesture processing system which does the heavy lifting of gesture analysis
- APIs for developers who want to build gestures into their apps
- support for gesture-based window management in Unity
uTouch Overview
The Ubuntu uTouch gesture framework includes several different components and is associated with various tools and projects:
- kernel drivers (evdev, mtdev)
- a display server (currently only X is supported; there are future plans for Wayland)
- Grail - the gesture recognizer
- GEIS - platform/distro agnostic API for gestures
- Support in toolkits (Qt, GTK)
- Support for legacy applications (Ginn)
See the "uTouch In-Depth" section below for more information on the projects various aspects (including current work). Architectural information is available there as well.
For the full list of projects related to uTouch, be sure to see the "Projects" section on this page:
The latest supported versions of our software is always available in our PPA:
A overview of the gesture interaction UX architecture is available at:

uTouch In-Depth
The main Multitouch page was getting quite long, so we've split content out into dedicated pages for easier reading and reference.
Testing - This covers getting started, checking your hardware (and our stack), and community-driven QA
Development - How to contribute and related resources
Current Work - What's happening this cycle, including information on the current architecture
History - Work done in previous versions of Ubuntu, including information on previous architectures
Additional Resources - Information on research, Ubuntu brainstorming, and other related material
