I'm having some problems with Google Chrome and my touchscreen in Ubuntu 14.04.
Basic touchscreen usage works fine, but if I double-tap on the touchscreen (the gesture for a right-click, as far as I can tell), then every time I touch the screen after that, it acts as if I've right-clicked.
This problem appears to be unique to Chrome; xterm, for example, acts normally.
Any suggestions?
Is there a way to get touchscreen events to act identically to mouse events? For example, I found where I can disable touch events (using chrome://flags/#touch-events
), but that completely disables tap for left click.
Is anyone successfully using a touchscreen with Google Chrome in Ubuntu 14.04? (I'm working on this for a kiosk-style setup, so I'm using Ubuntu Server and nodm instead of Unity or another desktop shell, and my hardware's a little unusual also.)

There are at least one possible solution that worked for me. :)
That problem could be solved for me with Chrome's
--touch-devices
command line parameter.Determine X's input device id in a console by

on my system.
To make Chrome always use this CLI flag, see:
