Mac OS X Lion Features Are Ubuntu Rip-Off
Let’s look at Mac OS X Lion’s first “innovation” they introduced: multitouch gestures.
I am running Ubuntu 11.10 and have added the mactel ppa but I can't install sudo apt-get install xf86-input-multitouch

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 searched through the forums, and I have tried adding synclient lines to my openbox autostart.sh, as well as various options into my 50-synaptics.conf file, but to no avail.
