Hi,
I've got a Synaptics Touchpad capable of recognizing gestures. After using this quite heavily on Windows I got used to it and would like to have it available on Linux also ;).
After some research I found that there is a Synaptics Gesture Suite for Linux ([1]), which looks quite useful. However there is no direct download available, and it seems that you have to be some sort of OEM in order to get it.
I couldn't find any package in the repositories, so I'm wondering whether anyone knows more about it.
Best regards, Karol Babioch

There's a package 'xf86-input-synaptics' with synaptics drivers for X.org. Take a look at [0] for how to configure it. Why would someone want to have a 'synaptics gesture suite'? [0] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Synaptics -- Schoene Gruesse Chris
