The City of Leitchfield celebrated Bart Glenn's retirement from the police force at the regularly scheduled Leitchfield City Council meeting on Monday, April 9.
Glenn, who served with the Leitchfield Police Department (LPD) for twenty years and spent six of which as Police Chief, was presented a retirement gift by Leitchfield Mayor William Thomason on behalf of the City during the April 9 City Council meeting.
In addition, after the City Council adjourned, a retirement party for Glenn was held, and the Leitchfield City Council, Mayor Thomason, and several Leitchfield Police officers and community members attended.
During the party, new Leitchfield Police Chief Kevin Henderson presented Glenn with a retirement badge and certificate honoring Glenn's service and retirement.
In other business:
Councilman William Dallas presented to the City Council the results of a recent local survey, which stated that 27 out of 38 individuals were dissatisfied with their current AT&T phone service.
In addition, Dallas said while Leitchfield currently does not have a contract with AT&T, should the City sign a 2- year contract with Bluegrass Cellular, the City can save $4,500.
Dallas motioned to sign the contract with Bluegrass Cellular, and the City Council passed the motion to sign.
The City Council approved the naming of two city streets behind Wal-Mart which were left unnamed after the construction of the Leitchfield bypass.
Councilman Jerry Schlosser said the streets had originally been part of a loop in Fountainview Estates, and after the the bypass was built and cut through the loop, the roads were left unnamed.
Schlosser proposed naming the streets Hailee Lane and Cassidy Lane, and the City Council approved the new names.
Schlosser also showed a powerpoint presentation to the City Council that he had put together with fellow Council members Margaret Fey and Harold Miller which depicted the results of a study concerning the effects of the economic recession on Leitchfield.
Schlosser showed a number of slides depicting vacant homes and businesses, and he suggested the possibility of offering financial incentives for property owners and small businesses, such as not charging taxes on new and expanded properties and businesses.
Councilman Steven Elder said Leitchfield's property tax rate is already among the lowest in the state at $.11, and City employees have tried to improve Leitchfield property, but because a majority of the buildings Schlosser presented are privately owned, there is little the City can do.
Schlosser also suggested advertising small businesses through the City's website; however, City Clerk/Treasurer Erin Embry said doing so present a conflict of interest due to the City's website's being provided by the State.
Embry said because the City's website is provided by the State, the City is not allowed to advertise businesses on the actual page.
Also, the City Council approved Lindsey Shaffar's request to rent the James D. Beville Park Pavilion on Saturday, June 15 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. for a Humane Society fundraiser.
Miller discussed the possibility of making City Council meetings available to the public.
Elder said the current recording system, set up by Joseph Alexander, is set up to allow anyone who is interested to visit Leitchfield City Hall and watch and listen to the City Council meetings.
Elder said anyone citizens who are interested in viewing the City Council meetings are welcome to do so, provided City Hall is open.
Fey thanked Chief Henderson for his and the LPD's recent work on Cubbage Street.

If the Battle of New Orleans took place after the War of 1812 was over, why was it important to America's future? What is the King James Bible still influential 400 years after its first publication? What happened to the builders of Wisconsin's effigy mounds? These are just some of the questions co-hosts Norman Gilliland and Emily Auerbach ask of their distinguished faculty guests from the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus.
The subjects of his non-musical productions range from "Back from the Shadows Again: A Firesign Theater Retrospective" to "Children's Pictures at an Exhibition: Art from Chernobyl." Since 1990 he has been the narrator for the Wisconsin Chamber Orchestra's popular summer series, Concerts on the Square. In the fall of 1999, his historical novel "Sand Mansions" was read on WPR's popular daily program "Chapter A Day" and his novel "Midnight Catch" was read in 2013. He also produced the first known complete dramatized audio version of "Beowulf" and an audio version of "Oedipus Rex." He appears in the Oscar-winning documentary "On a Note of Triumph." In addition to co-producing University of the Air, he hosts Wisconsin Public Radio's popular "Old-Time Radio Night" and produces the biographical modules Grace Notes, which are broadcast each weekday morning at 11:30 on the NPR News and Classical Music network of WPR. Emily Auerbach is a Professor of English at the University of Wisconsin-Madison with a joint appointment in the English Department and the Department of Liberal Studies & the Arts (Outreach). She has received teaching excellence awards from University Outreach, UW-Madison, and the UW System; an arts award from the UW-Madison; and national awards for several of her projects. In addition to publishing books and articles on women writers and on the overlap between music and literature, Emily Auerbach has developed a series of radio programs, written guides, and courses about women writers called "The Courage to Write." The series has received four national awards, including the Ohio State Award for Excellence in Broadcasting presented at the National Press Club and a Distinguished Program Award from the American Council of Higher Education. Emily Auerbach's most recent book is entitled "Searching for Jane Austen". She serves as director of the UW Odyssey Project, a free humanities course for adults facing economic hardship.

Tennis: Langdon named Texas Coach of the Year
By Justin Thomas, firstname.lastname@example.com
The past year has been a successful one for Marcus' tennis team and head coach Kelly Langdon was honored for the achievements this week when he was named the United States Professional Tennis Association Texas Coach of the Year.
Langdon - who also won in 2009 - will be honored Feb. 16 at the USPTA's annual conference and Hall of Fame induction ceremony and is eligible to claim the national award later this year.
"It's an honor to be nominated, but to win is unbelievable," Langdon said. "It's an individual coach award but it's really about the school, the district, the players, the assistants and the parents. My name is flashed around for the award but the fact is there are a ton of people involved in making it happen. It really is a team award."
During the fall, Marcus finished second in District 5-5A to Coppell (10-8) and won in the first round over North Crowley (10-2) at regionals before falling against Lubbock Coronado.
"It's a 2012 award, which is odd because it really takes into account two seasons when you look at the spring and fall," Langdon said. "We had an outstanding spring last year and a strong fall this season and I think that combination helped. There are some other things you have to fill out as well, it's almost like you're doing a bio, but I don't know how much all of that goes into it."
In the spring, Marcus qualified six individuals for regionals (most in program history) and advanced a mixed doubles team to state for the first time.
"We had a great season," Langdon said. "The support I've received in my 12 years at Marcus has been amazing."

Dog Halloween Costume Contest: Echo The Scorpion
Thank you for hosting this costume contest! This is Echo. She is an 8 year old Boston Terrier. She is going as a scary scorpion this year. Ok, who am I kidding, that face is too sweet to be scary! Her costume is inspired by latex halloween props and the bodice is made of a lightweight knit jersey for stretch and comfort. Echo is very laid back and thoroughly loves sunbathing and sleeping under the duvet. Thanks again!
Dog Halloween Costume Contest: Elephant
Hi Puplife,
I would like to submit a photo of my 2 year old Brussels Griffon named Moxy. He is such a lovable dog who loves to play and make friends with everyone he meets. He recently fell in love with the movie Horton hears a Who and would bark at the screen whenever it would come on, so I thought that a Elephant costume would complement him well. He loves it and seems to be right at home in this adorable costume. I hope you enjoy these pictures as much as I have. ,my friends and family had a fantastic time with it as well.
Dog Halloween Costume Contest: Milaeger

Dog Halloween Costume Contest: Cali
Dog Halloween Costume Contest: Champ And Rosie
Here are my two mini Dachshunds:
Champ is my WWII Pilot and Aeronca is Rosie the Riveter. My husband, son and I are all pilots and the dogs are named after an aircraft that we fly (1946 Aeronca Champ). These two are the most loving animals we have ever had and both have such different personalities and charm. Champ is our comedian, very laid back but always doing something to make you laugh. While Aeronca is a bit on the high strung side, she will play ball for hours, but when it's time to cuddle she is right there wanting to lay on your chest for all the loving she can get.
Does your dog have a great Halloween costume? Enter PupLife's Dog Halloween Costume Photo Contest. You might win a $100 gift certificate!

February 28th, 2013
I suppose when it comes to Thom Yorke-starring music videos, we should just assume he'll be dancing from now on. After he worked up a sweat doing whatever that was in Radiohead's "Lotus Flower," Thom became a meme. And if the internet has taught us anything, it's that if you become a viral sensation, you've gotta keep it going. And so, the first official video for his side-project other band, Atoms For Peace, finds Thom putting on a three-piece brown suit, alongside a fellow pony-tailed companion, and doing some kind of interpretive dancing. The video was directed by Garth Jennings, who as you might have guessed, also helmed "Lotus Flower."

ToddBaesen wrote:Another mistake that Welles made, that I hadn't even thought about before, until Mike pointed it out, was why Welles didn't think of keeping the long print of AMBERSONS he had with him in Rio? If he had it shipped back to his house in Los Angeles, he could have restored the film himself, as he was talking about doing in the sixties. We know from the "smoking gun" memo Catherine Benamou found, that the order to destroy the long 14-reel print wasn't even given until December 21, 1944, which was well after Koerner had already ordered all the AMBERSONS material on hand in Hollywood to be junked.
Glenn wrote:
No doubt the tragic accident in the harbor of Rio was a factor, but Welles had no real obligation to stay for six months overseeing a Latin American cultural propaganda documentary, when his second, potentially great film was in danger from the Hollywood philistines. He must bear considerable responsibility for the beautiful but disappointing hodgepodge THE MAGNIFICENT AMBERSONS turned out to be.
Todd wrote
...what's really wrong with all these interpretations is most of them try to place the blame for what happened on Welles, Wise, Schaefer, Koerner, Jack Moss, Rockefeller, or pick your choice...The reality is there is enough blame for everyone to share in, and there really is no chief villain.
Due to the blunders of Jack Moss, Welles revised contract did not give him final cut, but Welles still expected it. After making CITIZEN KANE, why should he think otherwise, and especially after the top studio executives in December saw the rushes and expressed how pleased they were. So just that one detail would have made all the difference... if Welles had kept final cut, no matter who took over at RKO, the film couldn't have been released without Welles having the final say.
Roger wrote:
Some have reported that a 16mm copy was sent to Welles, but I don't think that would equal 14 reels (more like five or six)...Finally, there was the issue of legal ownership. RKO "owned" the prints sent to Welles; legally, Welles could not confiscate the prints for his own use. At the time, Welles was not aware that RKO intended to destroy the original negative...the idea of trying to retrieve those reels seemed pointless to Welles since AMBERSONS had already been released

I ran the draknetcenter from the terminal and the following message was displayed on the console. Failed to kill daemon. (No such file or directory)It connects ok and the icon changes from a red cross to a green tick. But trying to disconnect repeats the message and the icon stays as a green tick. So, I think it does do the disconnect but it is the icon that does not change. Someone has mentioned that earlier I think?If there is anymore information you need let me know.Cheers for now
That could be the cause of the problem you have,hope those who knows the ins and outs of the netcenter will have an idea of what is broken.why are you connecting and disconnecting wired interface? most people only do that with wireless interface
to any person with the problem,open the terminal,log in as root,run "draknetcenter",try to disconnect/connect and report any output on the teminal
On my box NetApplet no longer shows disconnected, even if disconnected. Can't remember when this started happening, but not a problem for me.Has green tick displayed even after unplugging B/B dongle.

To ease the heartache of her first child's stillbirth, Kelli Montgomery chose rigorous exercise, yoga and meditation over the antidepressants and sleeping pills that her physicians immediately suggested.
"'You need to be on this medication or that medication.' It was shocking to me that that was the first line of defense," said Montgomery, 42, director of the MISS Foundation for Grieving Families in Austin, Texas. "From the time I was in the hospital to when I was seeing my general practitioner, that's what they were insisting on."
Her choice stemmed partly from a longtime aversion to taking prescription drugs. It was also the result of listening to a growing group of psychiatrists, psychologists and clinical social workers from around the world who argue that depression and other normal responses to life's toughest challenges are too often labeled as disorders -- and as such, demand medicine with sometimes dangerous side effects.
Protesters such as Montgomery contend diagnoses of serious psychological and psychiatric disorders have also needlessly skyrocketed alongside the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders' expanding list of what constitutes mental illness. The manual is considered the bible of psychiatry because it's the criteria mental health professionals use to diagnose patients.
One example of the issue is the frequency of bipolar disorder in children. It has jumped 40-fold in the last two decades, said Dr. Bernard Carroll, a former Duke University psychiatry department chairman.
"You've got all these young kids running around with this diagnosis, yet many of them have never, ever had a manic episode, which is the hallmark of bipolar disorder," said Carroll, now the scientific director of the Pacific Behavioral Research Foundation.
"Many of these kids," he continued, "have never had anything other than irritability. Yet they're exposed to anti-convulsants, anti-psychotic drugs, which have serious long-term side effects in the form of obesity, metabolic syndrome, diabetes and some movement disorders ... that can leave a person extremely disfigured physically."
The International DSM-5 Response Committee -- named after the upcoming fifth incarnation of that diagnostic manual -- plans to launch a campaign next month aimed at blocking the manual's May 20 release. Short of that, critics plan to press ahead with their case that the DSM-5 should be viewed with some skepticism and not wholly embraced by practitioners or patients.
"We believe that there is now overwhelming evidence that DSM-5 is scientifically unsound (and) statistically unreliable," said clinical psychologist Peter Kinderman, director of the University of Liverpool's Institute of Psychology, Health and Society. He is helping organize the international campaign with petition drives in the United States, the United Kingdom and France.
The American Psychiatric Association, whose manual has been used by health insurers, pharmaceutical companies, doctors and other clinicians since it first published in 1952, has dismissed DSM-5 opponents as overly alarmed.

Spending time with family this holiday season? Gird your loins. Thanksgiving and December holidays can be a really painful time for NotMoms. It's always about the absence of children; sometimes it's about the presence of relatives.
Many a NotMom is headed home to a house full of unwanted questions. "Still no kids? Did you try [fill in the blank]?." Or, to the deliberately childfree: "Are you sure you're not gonna change your mind? You'll be sorry later!"
For a childfree-by-choice woman, visions of bitchslapping Aunt Minnie may spring to mind. For the NotMom who really wanted children badly, a nosy, thoughtless remark can spark spontaneous tears.
Merry merry.
The Yuletide lessons are for you, not them, and the word to remember is Boundaries. Yup. Those cattle are gettin' ready to run right off the ranch. Round 'em up and keep 'em where you want 'em to be.
"No, Aunt Minnie. I haven't changed my mind and I don't plan to. Can I get you another cup of punch?" Then, disengage. Walk away if at all possible, or risk escalation.

The causes of childlessness, including lack of a partner, were never a focus of this particular post which centers on women without kids at the holidays and ways to handle relatives' reactions. At my website, TheNotMom.com, I have discussed the challenges of women who want a partner and a child but have neither, a situation recently dubbed "emotional infertility" in a British study.

LOS ANGELES - The Cerritos man behind an anti-Muslim film that led to violence in many parts of the Middle East was sentenced Wednesday to a year in federal prison for probation violations in an unrelated matter, then issued a provocative statement through his attorney.
The sentence was the result of a plea bargain between lawyers for Mark Bassely Youssef and federal prosecutors. Youssef admitted in open court that he had used several false names in violation of his probation order and obtained a driver's license under a false name. He was on probation for a bank fraud case.
Shortly after Youssef left the courtroom, his lawyer, Steven Seiden, came to the front steps of the courthouse and told reporters his client wanted to send a message.
"The one thing he wanted me to tell all of you is President Obama may have gotten Osama bin Laden, but he didn't kill the ideology," Seiden said.
Asked what that meant, Seiden said, "I didn't ask him, and I don't know."
U.S. District Court Judge Christina Snyder accepted the plea agreement and immediately sentenced Youssef after he admitted to four of the eight alleged violations, including obtaining a fraudulent California driver's license. Prosecutors agreed to drop the other four allegations under the plea deal, which also included more probation time.
All parties agreed that none of the violations had to do with the content of "Innocence of Muslims," a film that depicts Mohammad
However, Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert Dugdale argued Youssef's lies about his identity have caused harm to others, including the film's cast and crew. Deadly violence related to the film broke out Sept. 11 and spread to many parts of the Middle East.
"They had no idea he was a recently released felon," Dugdale said Wednesday. "Had they known that, they might have had second thoughts" about being part of the film.
He said they have had death threats and feel their careers have been ruined.
Seiden said his client admits to being the film's scriptwriter but had no other involvement except what he described as being a "cultural adviser."
Youssef, 55, was arrested in late September, just weeks after he went into hiding when the deadly violence erupted.
Enraged Muslims demanded severe punishment for Youssef, with a Pakistani cabinet minister even offering $100,000 to anyone who kills him.

Gluten-Free Easy One-Pan Caramel Cake |
Recipe adapted from Anne Byrn's The Cake Mix Doctor Bakes Gluten-Free For all the times I spread chocolate frosting over a yellow cake there are those rare exceptions when I thin, no, not chocolate this time. Why not caramel? And then I wondered why don't I make caramel cake more often. You, too, should make caramel cake often with a gluten-free cake mix and my simple but luscious frosting. Ingredients Vegetable oil spray, for misting the pan Directions Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly mist an 8-inch square baking pan with vegetable oil spray and set the pan aside. Place the cake mix, brown sugar, cream cheese, oil, eggs, water, vanilla, and almond extract or maple flavoring in a large mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer on low speed until the ingredients are just incorporated, 30 seconds. Stop the machine and scrape down the side of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Increase the mixer speed to medium and beat until smooth, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes longer, scraping the sides down again if needed. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with the rubber spatula and place the pan in the oven. Bake the cake until it is golden brown and springs back when lightly pressed with your finger, 48 to 52 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let the cake cool completely, 20 minutes Meanwhile, prepare the Quick Caramel Frosting. Ladle the warm frosting over the cooled cake in the pan and smooth the top with a metal spatula. Let the frosting set 20 minutes before slicing and serving the cake. Half Recipe Quick Caramel Frosting Ingredients: 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter Directions: Place the butter and brown sugars in a medium-size heavy saucepan over medium heat. Stir and cook until the mixture comes to a boil, about 2 minutes. Add the milk, stir, and bring the mixture back to a boil then remove the pan from the heat. Add the confectioners' sugar and vanilla. Beat with a wooden spoon until the frosting is smooth. It should be smooth enough to spread Ladle the frosting over the cake while it is still warm. It will set as it cools. If using for cupcakes and the icing hardens too much, place the saucepan back over low heat and stir in 1/2 to 1 tablespoon of milk. Notes: Cake: Icing: Use whole milk if possible in this recipe because it makes a smoother, richer frosting. The 2 percent milk works okay but don't use fat-free milk Dairy–Free Version: Substitute 4 ounces (half of an 8-ounce package) of a dairy–free cream cheese, such as Better Than Cream Cheese made by Tofutti, in place of the 8 ounces of whipped cream cheese. When making the caramel frosting, use margarine instead of butter and soy milk instead of the regular milk. *Miss Roben's, 1-2-3 Gluten-Free Cake Mix, Hodgson Mill, and King Arthur Gluten-Free are several available kosher gluten-free cake mixes. |

There were a couple times this winter when it was pretty easy to see soil erosion happening. During a couple blizzards, the air was filled with blowing snow and dirt -- snirt, as it's called in the Dakotas. On a trip I made from my farmstead to Bismarck after the storm, I saw road ditches were filled with snowdrifts laced with black streaks. Next to really bare fields, the drifts of snow were grey, not white. It was disappointing to see so much wind erosion happening after so…Continue Reading
I thought the bare hills and the eroded draws along the Missouri River in South Dakota were just symbols of a tough country. But during a tour last week of the Mortenson Ranch near Hayes I learned that they are more than likely signs of an abused land. "This country was full of trees in the 1800s, until the government decided to put a family on every section," says Clarence Mortenson, a Lakota from the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe and a fifth-generation rancher who has been working…Continue Reading
Over the Memorial Day weekend, I took three of my grandkids to the Buffalo River State Park, which is near our farm. The twins are 4-years-old and their brother is 8. We had a grand time throwing rocks in the river, catching frogs off a sandbar and wading in the water. About the only downside to the day was the color of the water. It had rained pretty heavily the night before and the river was brown with silt. The Buffalo River runs through some good Red River Valley farmland. But the corn…Continue Reading
Jay Bursch, a Glenn Ullin, N.D., amateur sunspot and aurora borealis watcher, sent me an interesting letter the other day. It details the number of auroras, or northern lights, he has documented by month since 1981. There are more 2,250. Bursch, who has been quoted by ABC News and several aurora borealis societies, thinks that di auroras, or northern lights, can tell us what's driving climate change. Auroras are caused by sunspots and solar flares. The more solar flares, the theory…Continue Reading
I lit a brush pile on our farmstead on fire the other day and spent a tense half hour beating down the flames that flickered through the dry grass surrounding the pile. Luckily, my son and I were able put contain the fire before it reached the shelterbelt and really took off. Fortunately, I had waited to start the fire until the soybean field around our farmstead had been harvested and the ground had been worked. If the fire had gotten away from us, at least it wouldn't have spread…Continue Reading
Harvest is going surprisingly well this year. Surprisingly, because most farmers in the eastern Dakotas are used to harvests of mud. Of pulling combines, trucks and carts, of combining corn in standing water and cob-high snow drifts, and of awaking up from a 3 a.m. nap in the sugarbeet lifter and having their boot frozen to the cab floor. (That happened to my neighbor.) Fields across the Dakotas are dry and the row crops are coming off fast. Some farmers, like Roger Walkinshaw, of…Continue Reading
You know the smell of freshly plowed fields? It makes Dan Forgey sick. Forgey, manager of Cronin Farms, Gettysburg, S.D., says he has come to understand that the classic scent of spring in the Dakotas is really the odor of dying soil microbes. "It's the last thing I want to smell." Forgey is a long-time no-tiller who has recently started using cover crops to keep a living plants and roots and and in on the soil as long as possible. "The soil is…Continue Reading
I'm jealous of some farmers. They are not good crop and livestock producers, but they also have a way with words. Paul Anderson, Harvey, N.D., says he's practicing SOS corn storage this year – storing on the stalk. He has about 300 of his 400 acres of corn in the field and isn't in any hurry to get it out. The corn is drying fine – down to about 18% moisture. Last year, SOS storage worked out well and he's hoping it will do the same this winter. So far so good. Though he's had…Continue Reading
My carbon footprint expanded big time last night. I finally got around to mowing a three acre patch on my farmstead. I used to grow pumpkins there, but with the kids grown up and the grandkids too far away I was thinking of replanting it to trees. Only this year, the ground was too wet to do anything but watch the weeds grow. The pennycress had gotten waist high and was as pretty and even as a carefully tended wheat field. But the waterhemp, lambsquarter and Canada thistle were…Continue Reading
Miles and miles of ... no, not flood waters but fields drying out. I even saw a tractor and a disk parked in a corn field southwest of Kindred, N.D., today. The soil is light and sandy in this part of eastern North Dakota, and it looked as if farmer had been knocking down cornstalks and airing out the top couple of inches of soil. The fieldwork was the biggest surprise during my tour to see what the second crest on the Red River and the flooding on the Sheyenne looked like. Locals…Continue Reading

=Using Touch with MeeGo= | =Using Touch with MeeGo= |
Contents |
The kernel's multi-touch-protocol is now supported in MeeGo. Qt applications will receive Touch events and can use the Qt gesture infrastructure. Non-Qt applications will need to write to XInput2.0 and extract contact data from the XEvent data.
The general flow is:
HW => Kernel driver => multi-touch-protocol => xorg-x11-input-mtev => XEvent => Application
xorg-x11-input-mtev uses libmtdev in order to easily support both of the protocol A and B exposed by the kernel.
When dealing with touch based interaction concepts, it is critical to minimize time difference between when the user attempts to interact with the UI and when the user receives feedback that something is happening. The variables at play which contribute heavily to this latency include:
By instrumenting the xorg-x11-driver-mtev we can determine the amount of time spent between 2 through 5. By instrumenting Qt we can determine the time spent between 5 and 7. Accurately measuring the time between 7 and 8 is difficult. For the purpose of measuring the part that we can control in the touch stack, measuring 2 through 7 is sufficient.
The patches to add this information can be found here:
Versions of Qt and xorg-x11-drv-mtev with the above patches applied can be found in my home project in the MeeGo OBS system.
MeeGo 1.2 provides a GestureArea element derived from the qml-gesturearea project.
As gesture support is added to the official versions QML, MeeGo will work to maintain compatibility with those features in a way which allows applications written with the MeeGo Components' GestureArea to still work.
For the current status of Gesture support in Qt, you can see the following bugreports:
Qt on MeeGo is configured to listen to pointer (mouse) events the first core pointer provided by X. Additional core pointers are ignored. Touch events are received from any touch device bound to the first core pointer, as well as any touch devices which are floating (not bound to any core pointer)
See BMC#17865 if you have something to add to this topic.
If you do nothing, X will default to binding an input device to the first Core Pointer. This means that the touch screen will default to control the cursor --as you move your finger around, mouse events will be generated, the cursor will move, etc. This is typically the behavior you want.
However, if you don't want the touch device to control the pointer, you can use the xinput utility to "float" the touch device. On the Lenovo S10, running 'xinput list' shows something like the following:
⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)] ⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ Cando Corporation Cando 10.1 Multi Touch Panel with Controller id=13 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad id=16 [slave pointer (2)] ...
Looking at the above, you can see the touch device (Cando Corporation...) is device id 13. To float that input device, run:
xinput float 13
NOTE: If you don't have xinput, you can install it on MeeGo by running:
zypper install xorg-x11-utils-xinput
Once you float the input device, it will no longer move the mouse pointer. To reattach it, run:
xinput reattach 13 2
'2' is the device ID for the 'Virtual core pointer' you are reattaching the device to.
To keep X from connecting a device to the core pointer when starting the system, you can add:
Option "SendCoreEvents" "false"
to the InputClass section for the device, for example you can place the following in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d as 60-cando.conf:
Section "InputClass" Identifier "Cando Multi Touch Panel" MatchVendor "Cando" MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*" Driver "mtev" Option "SendCoreEvents" "false" EndSection
To perform the above steps on this wiki, you may need to install the xinput utility:
zypper install xorg-x11-utils-xinput
If you are using the evtouch driver on your system, you may experience problems due to the input driver your kernel is using. If the kernel driver does not advertise to user space that it supports the left button (by setting the BTN_LEFT bit in the input_device's keybit field) then the X input driver will not map those button identifiers to the "Button Left" label. Qt relies on correctly set button labels in order to map the incoming touch data to the appropriate touch device.
You can determine if this is the case on your system by running:
xinput list --long "Virtual core pointer"
On a functional input driver, you will see various text names for the field 'Button labels:' On a broken input driver, you will see a series of X BadAtom errors or "Button Unknown" labels. A correct driver will report labels such as: Button Left, Button Right, etc.
See BMC#12777 for additional details on this problem.
Fixing the driver for your system may be as easy as adding the following line to the driver's initialization sequence:
ts->idev->keybit[BIT_WORD(BTN_LEFT)] = BIT_MASK(BTN_LEFT);

Running is my passion. I believe it is a cure for all problems. Running out on the roads I feel so free and relaxed, it is my time to let loose and think. Running always makes me feel better physically and emotionally.
I participate in several 5k and 10k runs in the York area. Just starting to get involved in trail running.
I intend on running a 1/2 marathon this year.
