Hi Anthony,


thanks for your quick reply.

I wonder though: it seems there’s at least preliminary touch support for OpenJFX on the Raspberry Pi - is this because it does not use X11 and/or GTK there? Is it possible to do the same on an X86-based Linux device?


Cheers,
Stefan

I use a capacitive touch screen, with a DMC controller, connected to a Ubuntu 13.10 PC via USB, and none of the sample code that I've tried seems to recognize any touch events. Under Windows 7, touch events are recognized, I can swipe, zoom, etc.
