Hi all,

We've made big changes to how uTouch works in Ubuntu Precise. These have 
had an impact on what gestures can be recognized on touchpads. I wrote a 
wiki page about the changes here:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Multitouch/TouchpadSupport

Note that not all ClickPad devices are recognized automatically. Most 
Synaptics brand ClickPads are recognized, as are Apple MacBook 
trackpads. However, Apple Magic Trackpads and some Synaptics brand 
ClickPads are not recognized out of the box yet. If you have one of 
these devices, you will want to enable "Synaptics ClickPad":

xinput set-prop <device id|device name> "Synaptics ClickPad" 1

This will ensure that click actions do not inhibit touch and gesture 
events. It will also make your device work better in other ways too :).

Thanks!
