I have a Ubuntu machine with a 24 inch touch screen and it works fine. I can move the mouse, make gestures with several points of touch, and thus the equipment works fine. Now I am wondering if it is possible to make the browser interpret events as touches, and not as mousedown, mousedrag, etc. HTML5 has really good support for touch and multi-touch, and I would like to develop web applications for this setup. Does anyone know how to do this? tried to turn on the "enable-touch-events" switch without any success. It seems like this is only implemented in the ms version.
