Touch in Linux has been worked on since 2006 (as far as I know). If memory serves, the Linux kernel and Xorg have had drivers for touch devices since 2007/8. Ubuntu, on the other hand, is normally a desktop/server OS, and such machines rarely have touchscreen monitors; it's really only with the rise of later, smaller devices where touch tech has become the best way to cut down on a devices size that really benefit from touch tech. uTouch is simply a multitouch software stack. |
