Has anyone gotten Unity to work with multitouch on Linux? The OS captures the touch just fine, but Unity doesn’t see them as either mouse or touch events.
So far I’ve tried Fedora and Ubuntu.
Sorry, touch input is not currently supported for Linux standalone.
This is on our roadmap, but there’s currently no ETA.
could you please give me estimated date of support ??

Unfortunately, that is not possible at this time.
It looks like Unity 2018.2 fixed something related to touch “Linux: Fix Linux touch input for mouse events (947049)” at https://unity3d.com/unity/beta/unity2018.2.0b2
I’m very curious if multi-touch works yet because I’ve been holding off on buying a multi-touch monitor for a project until it does.
It’s not working as of 2018.2.0b8. In fact, it doesn’t work for mouse events either.
Any updates on this? I’m curious as what the technical limitation is that prevents Unity from processing touch events on Linux?
I’m facing the same issue working with linux…
We’ve gotten a working prototype using TouchScript with TUIO input and mtdev2tuio or UPDD TUIO server as the backend. It’s hacky because we basically have to convert the touches to OSC messages and then consume those in our app, but it functions.
Hey @Brightline
You should check Reactivision
http://reactivision.sourceforge.net/
It has a working linux version.
How did you get Touchsript to listen the TUIO messages ?
One year later… Is there an ETA on official support yet?
Im using a custom driver for that purpose… its like a Touch driver working like a Mouse Driver… and the touch gestures can be passed to the kernel like (Mouse Events…) ie. Pinch-Expand gesture = Mouse Scroll UP/DOWN… , the option 2 is… create a Plugin Between Linux and Unity .
5 years later - In the year 2023 Unitys Input System does not support touchscreens under linux.
