Arch Linux

I've just uploaded here [1] the new version

[1] https://aur4.archlinux.org/packages/xf86-input-synaptics-xswipe-git/

I get: "error: target not found: X-ABI-XINPUT_VERSION=21"
I remember it installing fine a few weeks back.

I use this [1] pkgbuild for xswipe. Since it is only a script I prefer not upload it on the AUR. [1] is only my way to install and configure it.

So, this driver only works if you install xswipe as well? How do you do that?

I just found the time to fork the felipejfc repo and port his patch to 1.8 upstream branch.

FYI the initial (unanswered) report is here [1]

I got the kba's problem and I've fixed it to forcibly add "#include <xorg-server.h>" into "/usr/include/xorg/os.h".

Hi kba, i have the same build problem. In this period it's hard for me find time to debug something similar, have you alredy tried to open an issue in github?

I get this error code when building
/usr/include/xorg/os.h:579:1: error: expected identifier or '(' before '__extension__'

The build failed.

any ideas?

Fixed the package due xorg update. If you have problems before the upgrade about not recognized touchpad (but working touchscreen), try to build and install again this package

I've never gone into that dependency. The /extra package needs it and i used that PKGBUILD as base.

Is X-ABI-XINPUT_VERSION=20 a dependency?

This does not seem to build without it.

Hi, this package only provides the xorg driver to run xswipe. You can clone directly the xswipe github repo and configure properly or install through this package [1] which i still have not uploaded in AUR.

How can i configure xswipe?
I don't know ho to launch the application.

Ahh, so that was the problem!!
I ran a full update last night and ended up with a dead touchpad after booting it today. Rebuilt the driver and it works now. Had to do it all with keyboard, though... (:

Thanks, dieghen89! (Y)

Due to libevdev update you can end up with a dead touchpad. The problem is that the new library has removed the .so.1 link, so you have to build this package again after the libevdev update.

So here are the steps:
- Update libevdev to 1.0.1
- Before rebooting, build again this package
- Reboot

If you reboot before rebuild this driver you can:
- downgrade libevdev
- follow the previous instructios

Or
- perform the previous operations using a mouse / only with keyboard

Enjoy

You're right, git should be a makedepend. Fixed

ok, my (newbie) mistake: git must be installed first...

I have the following error message when trying to install it: "Failure while downloading xf86-input-synaptics-xswipe-git git" depo.
