Gestures on embedded linux

[Bjorn.Gurnett]

Hello

I have a class that derives from a QDeclarativeItem (Qt 4.8.6), in which I'm trying to get swipeGestures to work.

In the constructor I have added

setAcceptTouchEvents(true);
grabGesture(Qt::SwipeGesture);

However in

bool GraphPopUp::event(QEvent event)
{
qDebug() << "Event" << event->type();
if (event->type() == QEvent::Gesture)
return gestureEvent(static_cast<QGestureEvent>(event));
return QDeclarativeItem::event(event);
}

I am unable to detect QEvent::Gesture.

Are there any examples or am I missing something?

Thank you
