I think the patch will be never backported to the kernel 3.19 and ubuntu 14.04. Probably you should consider update to 16.04, it should be reasonably smooth -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu.

ok, after further googling it turned out these up-right and bottom-right top shortcuts for middle and right button are default in Ubuntu (and not specific of our trackpad). So the new driver is working as expected. For those finding very annoying the accidental middle button click when tapping

@pmonas yes, I think the singe tap is sometime interpreted as a middle-click. I can guarantee that I click with a single finger, though ... Is someone else using the 4.9 kernel on the e7370 observing this ? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which

Hi, I am using since a few weeks the kernel 4.9 with my dell e7370 abd the touchpad is recognized. I have however an annoying problem which happens quite often. With the "tap to click" option enabled, when I tap the touchpad sometime the behavior is quite unreliable. For example: 1) Tapping

@chmelab @pmonas indeed I was wondering if this kind of fix are expected to be backported to relevant older kernels. In this case it should be backported at least to the 4.4.x series. I have experience of other bug fixes backported to previous kernel versions, so this should be the case also for

Regarding my post #24, I think a better workaround, instead of changing .Xmodmap, is to add the following line to the file: ~/.xinputrc xinput set-button-map "ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse" 1 2 3 5 4 6 7 in this way only the two-finger scrolling direction of the unrecognized touchpad will be

I found a workaround to invert the two finger scrolling behavior. It is enough to add a file .Xmodmap in the home dir with the following content: $ cat .Xmodmap pointer = 1 2 3 5 4 6 7 8 9 10 (note that the forth and fifth numbers are swapped) This invert the two finger scrolling direction,

Indeed, if a workaround to invert the "natural scrolling" behavior will be found we could survive until a real support is enabled -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1590590
