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
