Jeff: Everyone who uses Ubuntu is a part of the Ubuntu community and has
an equal right to decide things and we aims to provide our users the
best possible experience. Regarding the end user experience of the
genuine approach and emulation approach, its not true that both are
same, otherwise why would have the hardware approach created .
I don't know how can one make a patch(a deb file) which can set variable
properties synclient TapButton2=3 HorizTwoFingerScroll=1
VertTwoFingerScroll=1 EmulateTwoFingerMinZ=29 EmulateTwoFingerMinW=5
JumpyCursorThreshold=200 which are different for different touchpads.
Jeff another point is that emulation work good for some touchpads while
very bad for others.
It is a good idea to make a relief patch until the bug #308191 is
resolved but that is not possible as fas my knowledge is concerned. If
you or someone can make one, we will be really happy to distribute such
a patch which will emulate multitouch for users but if it works on some
and not on others and the some users have a bad experience with it, that
not good idea, you know. Even if a less general patch that could only
correct synaptics touchpad is also accepted, that way two or more
patches can be released. But in this case I don't even that is possible,
we only have to make a thousand patches for this. Normally in such
situations where variable properties has to be set users or developers
provide workarounds like you did so someone following that can correct
it for themselves. If we get a all 'applicable patch' that could be
distributed without thought.
However the duplicate status of this bug will still remain even if the
patch is released as the true solution is by bug #308191 even if this
happens for many years to come.
