[Bug 308191] Re: Multitouch support not available for Synaptics touchpads v7.2

 

I have wrestled with this lots, and the problem is that no two people
describe it as the same problem.

For some people, the mouse/touchpad driver or module is just wrong.  I
believe they are the minority.

The majority are people who have working devices, but can't figure how
to configure them and the point-and-click tools that keep getting thrown
about just make it worse.

If you can make settings work in the terminal with synclient, I wrote
down how you can make those fixes permanent.

For Gnome users, the magic bullet is to stop using the mouse configure
menu, turn off gnome-settings-daemon's control of your touchpad, and let
X settings get it just right.
