I suspect that this bug conflates two different issues, both of which now have patches:
1) appletouch exhibits jagged movement (see bug 1264426) and 2) synaptics defaults for fingerlow and fingerhigh for some MacBooks were unreasonably high (see bug 1246215). The appletouch driver was patched upstream in the 3.15 kernel, which would put it in Ubuntu 14.10. The xorg patch was submitted for 1.8 and it looks like it may have been backported to 1.7, which would presumably put it in 14.04. We can probably close this once someone verifies on 14.10 that behavior is good. ** Changed in: mactel-support Status: New => Fix Committed ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Fix Committed -- 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/416516 Title: Touchpad isn't sensitive enough on MacBook 5,2 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mactel-support/+bug/416516/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ 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
