I'm building a kiosk app, using NodeJS and Electron, for kiosks with 2 touch screens (from 3M), based on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. One one machine I have ubuntu-desktop installed, on another I only have X11 installed, without the desktop support.When I run my app from a terminal window on the ubuntu desktop I can swipe through the lists. If I change to a different terminal/tty (e.g. shift-ctrl-f1) and back then the swipe behaviour/gesture is replaced with 'select' -- it selects the text in the list rather than scrolling it. On the machine with no desktop I start my app from tty-1, which is a text window. When I switch to the xwindow tty (shift-ctrl-7) there is no swipe at all, only select.I assume that I'm loosing the gesture when switching tty. Can anyone explain what's going on, and how I maintain the swipe behaviour?
