Multi-touch Compiz Fusion soon?

Yes, very soon.

Or at least an experimental build of Compiz for the MPX fork of X.Org (currently in development) by Peter Hutterer, replacing the simple, built-in MPWM window manager.

The catch is that we have to wait until 0.9 (development branch) comes out with the debut of Dave Reveman’s integrated Object-Framework. Once that occurs, this guy plans to start an experimental MPX branch of Compiz.

Unfortunately, 0.7.2 was only released 5 days ago, although Compiz Fusion’s update releases are notoriously fast (0.6.0 was released in October, and 0.7.0 was released in February). Therefore, the earliest that we can expect the release of 0.9 (if a Compiz release comes every 4 months) is by this coming October.

I anticipate YouTube video demos of a multi-touch Compiz. One guy explores the possibilities.

  1. Holy cow, that’s awesome. Is there a list of what hardware is compatible with the programming so far? Specific touch-screens and whatnot.
