[arch-general] Synaptics Gesture Suite on Arch?
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.

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

Hi,

That's not the point. Perhaps he (or she) wants something like multitouch. I'm also interested in this, the question should be, is multitouch well implemented in Linux? For now I can only use two finger scrolling and three-finger-tap for a middle click, however, sometimes a real multitouch would be better.

For such questions I'd like to remind the following XKCD: http://xkcd.com/619/ --- Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? On Wed, Jun 29, 2011 at 13:47, Christian Hesse <list@eworm.de> wrote:

Actually, I also uploaded something yesterday, although was reluctant to post because it's way OT. Sorry for this. http://i.imgur.com/pxSNG.jpg
