Re: [Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 308191] Re: Multi fingers touch doesn't be correctly recognized
Just confirming that this is still a problem for me on Lucid (no multi-touch whatever I do). At least now though, gnome-mouse-properties has "2 finger scroll" greyed out. When I called up gsynaptics, it had "Enable Touchpad" unchecked and checking it and closing gsynaptics had no observable effects. @Dana Goyette I believe the synaptics driver has software emulation of multi touch (for single touch devices), for some reason it isn't working on certain pads. This is probably not because they were never supported, because it seems that some people had it working on earlier versions of Ubuntu. -- Multi fingers touch doesn't be correctly recognized https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/308191 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-synaptics in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
Re: [Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 308191] Re: Multi fingers touch doesn't be correctly recognized
I have just tried that workaround (the synclient ...MinZ=10 one) but it doesn't work for me. The command executes fine, it just has no effect, even if I fiddle with gnome-mouse-properties. I should add, my settings are almost entirely the defaults if not entirely the defaults. Perhaps this bug affects different touchpads in different ways (my touchpad is an ALPS Glidepoint one), what is yours? Post a copy of this command if possible: xinput list | grep -i pointer Regarding making a permanent change to the touchpad configuration: I'm not sure in all honesty. I think you can specify it in xorg.conf (although, by default X doesn't use a configuration file any more, but it will read one if it exists). HAL is being depreciated, but to my understanding, it is still in progress (with input devices still being handled with HAL rather than udev) but by no means finished. This wiki page provides some details: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Halsectomy Out of interest, has anyone tried this with a different distribution? (non-Debian derived or otherwise) This bug doesn't seem to be getting that much developer attention, we should consider raising this upstream (if it's not Debian/Ubuntu specific). -- Multi fingers touch doesn't be correctly recognized https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/308191 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-synaptics in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

lshal suggests that the driver is synaptics for my ALPS touchpad, I presume it will be the same for others. Hopefully if this is attached to a specific package it will get fixed. ** Package changed: ubuntu => xserver-xorg-input-synaptics (Ubuntu) -- Ubuntu Karmic Regression: No Multi-Touch Touchpad Functionality on Asus Eee PC 1000HA https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/463735 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-synaptics in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
