How to disables multi-touch on a touch screen monitor on IGEL OS?


We’re using Advantech touch screen (Projected Capactive touch) monitors that allows a user to zoom in/out using 2 finger motion. This however is a problem for us because if a user accidentally zooms the screen in, the next user doesn’t realize that they have to zoom back out so they can use the screen. So is there an IGEL feature that disables multi-touch on a touch screen monitor?

You could try to switch from fingers to stylus, that worked for me:

System=>Registry=>Userinterface.touchscreen.type_mutouch


The pinch zoom in/out was only affecting Chrome so switching to stylus mode didn’t resolve the problem. To resolve, i added the following switch to the Chrome startup << –disable-pinch >> Thank You


That‘s a good info! Thanks!
