Comment 4 for bug 476866

As Philip reported, the "fix" is not satisfactory at all, as it only emulates 2 fingers recognition whereas the touchpad is actually capable of multitouch recognition, but behaves as if it was not.

I hope a driver revision or something solves the issue !

By the way, I am experiencing this on a brand new Dell Studio 17 (1747) laptop, and I am using the emulation workaround for now. Actua

Thank you Philip for compiling all the info and links to other useful bugs worth reading in the same bug report.

Cheers,
Eric from France. ;)
