I'm not certain how to prove or disprove (a). I looked through all the files attached to this bug report but didn't find anything definitive. I poked around on my own hardware looking at lshal output, various files under /sys/class/input but didn't find something I could suggest checking. Presumably you can check your hardware vendor's data sheets.
Regarding (b), try running this command: synclient -m 100 In theory, the fifth column 'f' is the number of fingers seen by the touchpad. Try two fingers, and more, and see if the number changes. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-synaptics in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/476866 Title: two-finger scrolling does not work on Dell Studio 15 (1555) via gui config _______________________________________________ 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
