Hi. I am using Laptop with touchscreen and it worked just fine after install, however 2 days later it stopped working properly. Now i can only emulate click in touchscreen. I can’t swipe, zoom in or out, everything works as a click. Is there a way to fix that? I realize that i’m not asking this question properly, but i don’t know what kind of information i should provide and how to get it.

Is this Gnome or a different desktop environment?
Hi. Thank you for your time.
I did some research before asking the question, however could not find a solution.
I noticed tough, that people were posting the output of the following command

Hi, thank you for your reply.
I’m running Gnome 42.1/Wayland with Fedora 36

I’m thinking this might be hardware specific. My ThinkPad has a touch screen and I can use the Gnome gestures with it. As far as pinch-to-zoom goes, that seems to be dependent on if the application itself supports it. For example, pinch to zoom works perfect for me with Firefox but not Slack, though I can still scroll in Slack with a swipe, where in Hexchat, the same gesture selects text.
I don’t think that it is it, because it used to work normal after installation. Stopped working properly after day or two.
I used Asus vivobook s500ca since Fedora 34 Workstation and now upgraded to fedora 35 with the lastest kernel, waiting upgrade to Fedora Linux 36 stable, touchscreen is working normally and perfectly, 2 finger for pinch to zoom in or zoom out, 3 fingers for swipe workspace, 1 finger to scroll vertical and horizontal, for click and for double klik. Maybe your hardware is broken, check in usb live linux system or if you dual boot check it on windows to make sure is working properly or not?
Hi, i installed Zorin OS to that laptop, touchscreen worked fine out of the box, so i decided to stick with it. However i will keep using Fedora on my main laptop.
