Nothing works on Arch Linux

[Mixu]

Hi!

First of all, thanks for this app, it looks pretty good!

But my problem is that I install the client on my Galaxy Nexus, and the server on my Arch Linux, then... they both connect correctly but when I touch anything I can't see the mouse moving, neither any key responding.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks!

You must be root and after run DroidMote server on your OS

[Mixu]

Yup, I already tried it, but nothing happened

[zulu99]

Well if you have already the root permission and nothing happen when you press button, you not have the uinput module in the kernel.

Or recompile the kernel with uinput inside or compile the module ad external loadable module.

Ubuntu and recent Linux distro already have uinput inside.

[Mixu]

Oh! I got it!
I only had to give permissions to the /dev/uinput file.
It's strange, because when I was root it wouldn't work...

Anyway, thanks for you quick replies

A little suggestion, what about multitouch?

[zulu99]

DroidMote in Linux simulate real multitouch as in Android and Windows.

But in Linux there are very few applications and window managers that support multitouch.

Unity in Ubuntu have same multitouch futures, for example when you scroll with two finger in the Software Center app.

There are tools like Ginn that is a deamon with jinn-like wish-granting capabilities: it gives applications the ability to support a subset of multi-touch gestures without having to integrate GEIS or multi-touch-enabled GTK/Qt libraries.

personally i tested all the multitouch futures of DroidMote on the Qt libraries and this is a video:

in essence, the multitouch on standard Linux distributions, it is going too slow, the fault lies with the xorg-server, which is updated slowly and with many bugs related to multitouch.

A bug known for a long time and still not included and resolved in the stable release is this: (very negative)

if you think about it over, what did Apple and Google ? have taken the best of linux, they removed the window manager and created a windows manager with multitouch.....

[Mixu]

Heheh, that's true!
I read there was a reimplementation of the Xserver or similar called Wayland.
So as I undertood, droidmote send the multitouch but it's the Xorg that can't work with it.

Ok thanks! I'll try some more things!
