[Bug 554980] Re: two finger scroll/multitouch not working on lenovo thinkpad w510 having SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad..

 

Gursimran:

1. If scroll is invoked with one finger, increase the value of
EmulateTwoFingerMinW. Yours is 3, which is very small. A value of 5
works well for me, but your number may vary, depending on your touchpad
and your fingers.

2. It's not a fix, it's a workaround. A fix would involve a patch to
gnome-mouse-properties.

3. This bug is not about multitouch, but about two-finger scroll. Since
my workaround allows two-finger scroll, I think it's a valid workaround.
There is another bug for multitouch. If a person wants two-finger
scroll, what difference does it make if he gets it through multitouch
emulation or through real multitouch? I don't understand your complaint.

4. Pinch/zoom via multitouch are features that depend on application
support as well, and to the best of my knowledge no applications support
for Ubuntu support these gestures, so this is more than a driver issue.
