How can I change the two figure behavior with my MacBook Pro (6,2)'s trackpad?

http://askubuntu.com – By default on mac os, with two fingers I can do this: -leave a finger on the mouse pad, and move another finger, and still be able to move the mouse -two finger scrolling requires both fingers be moving this is handy, as sometimes (because the trackpad is so large, I leave my thumb on the "button" (or any other fingers depending on how I'm sitting) for clicking, as clicking AND moving the cursor at the same time is difficult with this track pad (the whole thing needs to be pressed to click) I think this probably also affects click and drag, as I would only be allowed to use one finger, inst (HowTos)

Is there a way to completely remap actions of clickpad / touchpad?

I would like to be able to configure these things on my Samsung Series 9 900x3c clickpad (I would pick some of them that are possible to configure):

Bottom right clickpad button click would initiate left mouse button click (so the whole trackpad means only left mouse button - this would remove the need for tapping in most cases:

Hey guys, I've been using ubuntu for a few weeks now and everything's been working fine, except for a few minor bugs. But now out of the blue the two finger scroll thing on my mousepad switched directions so when I move my fingers up on the pad the screen rolls down, like on a tablet. This is ridiculous and I hate it.

I'm trying to enable some multitouch gestures to mirror what OS X is capable of doing, such as brushing three fingers across the trackpad to switch desktops, swiping two fingers to navigate back in nautilus or firefox etc. I'm trying to use touchegg, but I'm not sure if ubuntu sees my trackpad as a device with more than two finger support.

I want to write a simple app that uses Apple's Magic Trackpad, nothing special, just so that it recognizes atleast one gesture. The thing is, Ubuntu itself doesnt really recognize this device. I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 and by default the device works with 1 finger, but without tap-click or doubletap, 3 fingers move the window and 3 finger spread makes it fullscreen.

I have fixed my trackpad's crappy sensitivity using this and also this. While both of these problems are fixed, and the trackpad is much nicer now, there's one thing preventing me from calling it perfect. Trying to two finger click is horrendous now. Any time I try to place two fingers on the trackpad and click, it scrolls.

Pardon the horrendous title, I'm not exactly sure how to summarize the issue I'm having. Basically, I have synaptics, and I right-click by tapping two fingers on the touchpad because my touchpad doesn't have any buttons.

I have a Logitech multi touch T650 and what i have figure out that this this multi touch is been treated just like a mouse.

Hi,

I'm running Ubuntu 11.10 on a laptop with a trackpad that supports multitouch. I can use two fingers for right-mouse click and scrolling, and three fingers for resizing windows (with alt pressed). I was wondering if it's possible to use three fingers for switching workspaces, like on a mac. I haven't been able to find an answer to this anywhere yet. Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks

I just installed Ubuntu 11.10 on my MacBook Pro, and I have enabled two-finger scroll.

Now I'm unable to move a window with the trackpad, which is usually done by click-and-holding the window title (with one finger) and dragging (with another finger).

How do I move a window without disabling the two-finger scroll?
