Comment 11 for bug 633225

Davide,

This is excellent news! Thanks for coming forward with your synaptics code!

I'd like to address your last two comments. First, I believe that synclient is deprecated now. I believe it was used to modify synaptics support in the past, like two finger scrolling. If so, that functionality has migrated to the xinput utility.

As for Synaptics' press release about multitouch gestures, it seemed that what they proposed was closed-source proprietary software. Ubuntu does not ship proprietary software by default, so we haven't taken a look at it.

Thanks again!
