It even pasted with 3 finger tap. -- ubuntu-devel mailing list ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel

We are still working on that feature and hope to land it before feature freeze. -- ubuntu-devel mailing list ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel

The X synaptics module is used for all trackpads. Please test that your trackpad is behaving sanely. We are mostly looking for blocker bugs right now (random X server crashes, really obnoxious behavior, etc.). Please reply with any such bugs you find. Oops, I forgot to mention the packages are in ppa:canonical-x/x-staging. The following should get you set up for testing: $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:canonical-x/x-staging $ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get upgrade I don't think you need to dist-upgrade for this as there shouldn't be any new packages or packages needing to be removed, but I'm not entirely certain. -- Chase Will any of these updates address cut and paste on a Mac touchpad ?
