http://ubuntuforums.org – So two finger scrolling a pretty nifty feature that isn't officially supported with alps touchpads. It hasn't been an easy thing to get working in the incarnations of ubuntu, but I was able to get it working with both the xorg.conf and the hal methods in the past. However, both those avenues are no longer available in 10.04. So how can I get it working again?? Thanks (Hardware)

I have created a patch of the kernel that makes horizontal two-finger scrolling become functional on Sentelic touchpads.

Touchpad Two-Finger Scrolling 49 weeks 3 days ago

I'm using a Inspiron 1318 64-bit Dell laptop. It has a touchpad on it, but only edge scrolling works, on Ubuntu. Back when I used to use Windows, I had two-finger scrolling, but since I've switched to Ubuntu( about a year ago on 11.04) I've lost the ability to use it. If I go to the Mouse settings in the Settings menu, the option for two-finger scrolling is grayed out. Any ideas?

i have a Dell Inspiron 15R with Ubuntu 11.10 x86-64 installed.

I have a Dell Inspiron 15R with Ubuntu 11.10 x86-64 installed. I am having a problem with the Alps touchpad. My touchpad's driver loads, which is synaptics, and it gets recognized in xinput --list and in Xorg.0.log, but it's still not working.

Hello friends: My Laptop is Dell Vostro 3550 on which Ubuntu 12.04 LTS is installed.

I can't configure it's big touch-pad (ALPS GlidePoint) properly. Due to this ALPS touch-pad, pointer jumps and display flickers (very annoying).:( After using external usb mouse, the problem disappears. But always using external mouse is cumbersome.

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.

The touchpad works just fine, but the multi-touch "feature" doesn't seem to be working on Ubuntu 9.10 RC. For example, in mouse options, there is a setting for two finger scrolling, but when I have that option enabled, I loose scrolling abilities completely. If I change the setting back to edge scrolling, it works fine; like any other touchpad would.

I need to implement scrolling content with inertia like in UITableView in objective-c . The event (inertial scrolling of content) have to occur after user has finished dragging the content with finger. After he lifted up his finger from the screen the content has to move for some time.

I use this equation.

Hello, I am trying a trust expert touch mouse at the moment, a mouse with a toch surface on top instead of buttons. It is supported very well out of the box, even the two finger gestures work as forward and back in firefox. But the mouse has a very poor horizontal scrolling, it works very slow.
