This is not a duplicate! The parent bug is about touchpads that already had multi-finger capabilities in Windows; this bug is about using a hack to get multi-finger capabilities on ALL touchpads.
Just in case anyone thinks the driver is only doing emulation, try this in Windows: go to Mouse control panel, and press alt-shift-i. One finger tip: 1 finger, pressure 60, width 4. One finger sideways on the touchpad: it detects 1 finger, pressure 107, width 15. Two finger tips side-by-side, slightly separated: 2 fingers, pressure 60, width 4. Same is true for 3 fingers. Two fingers sideways: 2 fingers, pressure 150, width 4. This is with that special driver. I'll have to try it on my netbook, which came with multitouch out-of-the-box. ** This bug is no longer a duplicate of bug 308191 Multitouch support not available for Synaptics touchpads v7.2 -- enable multitouch support on older touchpads, as supported by driver v15.0.9.0 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/546697 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
