The Apple Magic Mouse appears to work with Ubuntu so far, but only a couple multitouch functions seem to work. With the trackpad, there are lots of other functions with utouch. What I'd really like to do is map two-finger swipes to back/forward in a browser.
I don't remember how but in 11.10 I had managed to find a few multitouch actions to be supporetd by some software.
Now I am using 12.04, Is there any way/application/workaround/plugin or anything that can provide me with multitouch gestures similar to mac or atleast near to it?
With synaptics I figured out that my touchpad supports 3finger control.
I am using a Samsung NP-RV509-A0GIN.
My workstation with Ubuntu 12.04 is a MacBook Pro which supports a Multitouch Trackpad.
Unfortunately, I'm constantly accidentally triggering the three finger touch gesture to resize a window:
How can I disable this gesture?
Where do I find those features? In Ubuntu there's only an option to enable Two-Finger-Scrolling.
Greetz.
it used to be that tapping two fingers on the touchpad send a middle mouse click. Now it does a right click and three fingers now are the middle click. I really can't understand the change and think it is a bug or badly copied from Apple or something. The reasoning escapes me totally. I use middle click to open links in a new tab in the browser all day and I rarely use right click (and I have a right mouse button below the touchpad, doh) Tapping three fingers on my tiny EeePC touchpad is next to impossible so I want the old behavior. I found:
synclient TapButtons2=2
synclient TapButtons3=3
but that did not work on 10.10
Does anyone know how to restore sane behavior?
