Overriding pop os touchpad gestures with fusuma

[tae898]

Hi,

I installed pop os 21.10, which comes with its multi-touch touchpad gestures, unlike native Ubuntu.

I don't know what exactly is running in the backend, and also I don't know how to modify them. So I just wanted to use fusuma, as I did with native Ubuntu. But when I run fusuma, it was running both pop os gestures and fusuma gestures at the same time. I tried this and that, and what worked in the end was to:

1. Install X11 Gestures
2. Uninstall it.
3. Run fusuma

Above made it possible for me to only use fusuma. This is a hack, and not a proper way. I wonder if you have a better way to override pop os multi-touch gestures with fusuma.

Thanks!

Thank you for reporting.

I think it is hard to control Pop!_OS 21.10's touchegg or Gnome Wayland's built-in gesture settings from Fusuma. I don't know if it can be possible, the /autostart/touchegg.desktop file or systemd service should be set to auto-start touchegg. You can turn off that auto-start.

hi thanks for getting back to me.

Do you also have an idea how and why my "hack" worked?

No, I don't. I wonder if the configuration overwritten at the time of installation are deleted or disabled by uninstallation.
