Describe the feature

I frequently use pinch/zoom touch gestures on my android devices and recently got some old Lenovo Thinkpad Yoga 370/380's, which I setup with CachyOS, which made me realise that such touchscreen multi-touch gestures can be very useful on PCs too. I also want to reliably use pinch/zoom with a BT touchpad on my Linux Mint PC, without a touchscreen, via a multi-touch compatible BT touchpad.

It should be implemented because

xserver-xorg-input-multitouch doesn't appear to have been ported to xlibre yet, and its v1.0~rc3-2.1 deb is unusable as-i,s because some of the dependencies below, conflicts with Xlibre, which cause it's replacement by xserver--xorg-*:

  • libc6 (>= 2.4)
  • libmtdev1t64 (>= 1.0.11)
  • xorg-input-abi-24
  • xserver-xorg-core (>= 2:21.1.1)

It appears that the source code can be found via -> git clone http://bitmath.org/git/multitouch.git

What are the alternatives?

touchegg, but it seems to not reliably or instantly recognise gestures or to smoothly pinch/zoom, on Linux Mint, with an i7-6800K CPU and AMD Radeon RX 7600 GPU, with GPU acceleration enabled in web browser.
