[Stephen M. Webb (bregma)]

The x.org server in x.org-edgers does not support the uTouch stack, which explains the init failures.

geisview should not be crashing under these circumstances, so that will need to be fixed.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package utouch-geis - 2.2.0-0ubuntu1

---------------
utouch-geis (2.2.0-0ubuntu1) precise; urgency=low
