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

 

Thanks so much for this package! This is huge! My report:

Prior to all this I haven't done anything deviating from a default 10.10
installation with anything related to the touchpad. I installed the
synaptic-dkms package for the utouch PPA about 14 hours ago.

After reboot I was able to select two-finger scrolling from System ->
Preferences -> Mouse -> Touchpad. Brilliant!! As you all probably know
this is usually greyed out. Without me doing anything, a two-finger tap
translates to a right click. Excellent!

Running "xinput list-props" on my touchpad gives me "Synaptics
Capabilities (320): 1, 0, 1, 1, 1" indicating three-finger tap support.
This was previously "1, 0, 1, 0, 0" indicating no multi-finger support.
As "xev" indicates, a three-finger tap is not recognized. I have also
tried changing the action with the "Synaptics Tap Action (307)" property
with no effect.

It seems to me the synaptics driver has (in principle) three-finger tap
support, since it lists that as a possible capability. By the same
token, it seems to me the synaptics driver does not have three-finger
swipe/scroll support. Am I correct in this?

Again, thanks!
