I second Raphael's experience. Mine is a VGN-Z570AN, Ubuntu Jaunty, and whether I use one or two fingers, synclient reports 40 - with occasional seemingly random variations. Actually, I am not especially keen on two-finger scroll, I can manage by setting aside a side strip for scrolling. However, I really miss an easy middle button; on another notebook's synaptic touchpad I configured two finger tap to behave as middle button. Looks like this is impossible with an Alps. It was a real turn off when I found out that such an expensive notebook had a second rate touchpad. -- Arnaldo Mandel Departamento de Ciência da Computação - Computer Science Department Universidade de São Paulo, Bra[sz]il a...@ime.usp.br Talvez você seja um Bright http://the-brights.net Maybe you are a Bright. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~sony-vaio-z-series Post to : sony-vaio-z-series@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~sony-vaio-z-series More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
