Hi,

Very much for reponse to my question. I tried your sample and the
herbstluftwm manage works good. Now, I have any problem, but I thing that
is in Linux drivers. I would be used touch screen in my project. I checked
that in Linux touch screen has the same events as mouse. Maybe, do you have
any experencie with use touch screen in Linux and the herbstluftwm manage ?

Thak you for help

Regards,

Pawel
