I have one of the new acer aspire 1410 "netbooks." I installed karmic today without any problems. However for some reason there is no multi-touch. I turned on the multi-touch scroll in prefs and didn't get it (though I really don't want it - mainly I want 2 finger middle click). I know the hardware is capable from what it was doin ging vista.

Any ideas?

I'm using Vaio which uses Synaptics touch pad. Multi touch gestures worked with no trouble on my previous installed operating system, windows 7. Now it seems like I can't use multi touch gestures on Ubuntu 12.10 at all. How exactly do I install the right drivers to make multi touch possible on my laptop. Thank you in advanced.

Best regards

It is disabled (greyed out) in Mouse and Touchpad settings. Edge scrolling works though :) Tried many solutions available online but couldn't succeed.

This is a part of my Xorg log, there's something wrong with my driver.It say "No input driver specified, ignoring this device.

Hi everyone, i've just upgraded my Lucid to Natty, and i ran into some problems.

First of all, touchpad enable/disable buttons are not working.

I've got acpi_osi=Linux and acpi_backlight=vendor added to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in my /etc/grub/default, but that doesn't help.

I've also written a simple script, that enables/disables touchpad, and added it to /etc/acpi/events/asus-touchpad:

Lying’s a lot harder than it used to be. Examples — Boss: “Where are you?” Employee: “On my way to the office.” Boss: “Show me.” ||| Mom: “Where are you?” Son: “At Jimmy’s house” Mom: “Show me.” With geo-coded messages, you have to be where you say you are.
