Bug Description

The ChromeOS X11 mouse driver is used in ChromeOS and provides superior support for touchpads in Chromebooks than the synaptics driver. I have ported this driver to Ubuntu/Linux distributions: https://github.com/hugegreenbug/xf86-input-cmt. For Unity to support this driver, changes need to be made to unity-settings-daemon and unity-control-center. I have created patches for these patches to support this driver. Attached are the patches.

Would you mind to propose branches for lp:unity-control-center and lp:unity-settings-daemon ? It would be easier to track and get them reviewed/merged.

Thanks
