Hello,

I'm wondering when Chromium for Linux will get true touch support. As for now the browser doesn't register any events, even though xinput reports them.

After digging around a bit I found the following:
Just to clarify for anyone that may search for this bug: linux GTK chrome won't support touch.  Eventually we'll switch linux chrome from GTK to Aura and get touch support nearly for free.

So I guess I'll just have to wait for Linux Chromium to get ported to Aura. Does anybody know how far away that is?

I believe it was recently announced that the dev channel was switching to Aura.

Yes, I believe Aura is now targeted for public release in upcoming Chrome 33.
