Bug Description

SRU Rationale
=============

[Impact]
This is an enabler for fixing bug 978378 in Unity.
Without it, utouch-geis clients (which includes Unity and utouch-qml among others) will have no way of getting the position of individual touch points from a touchscreen in window coordinates and therefore won't be able to know where exactly each touch point lands on the UI.

[Development Fix]
Quantal is not open yet.

[Stable Fix]
Check attachment called fix-touch-coordinate-space.patch

[Test case]
run geisview (from utouch-geis-tools package) on a device with a touchscreen and check that the position of touch points are shown in window coordinates.

[Regression Potential]
Low. The patch is very small and simple.

Original Bug Report
===================

GeisTouches provided by gesture events (GEIS_EVENT_GESTURE_BEGIN, GEIS_EVENT_GESTURE_UPDATE and GEIS_EVENT_GESTURE_END) should be in window coordinates if they come from a direct device (e.g. touchscreens) and in input device coordinates when from indirect devices (e.g. touchpads/trackpads). This should also be documented in geis.h

Currently they are coming always in device coordinates.

This upload needs verification so it can progress to precise-updates, as it is blocking the fix for bug #985916, bug #986215, bug #987539, and bug #813819 from entering precise-proposed. Please verify the fix soon!

Verified by running geis-view on a laptop with a touchscreen with metacity running instead of compiz (so that unity wouldn't keep all multitouch events to himself)
