grail - Gesture Recognition And Instantiation Library To build, you need to have the autoconf, libtool and mtdev-dev packages installed. Then, do ./autogen.sh ./configure make To test gestures, do sudo ./test/grail-gesture 0xffffffff /dev/input/eventX You should be able to see gesture events in the terminal. After five seconds of inactivity, the program exits. To install grail, do sudo make install By default, grail installs to /usr/local. To change, use the --prefix configure option. Enjoy, Henrik
