Bug Description

I have a summer-2009 MacBook Pro that I've been upgrading to beta Ubuntu versions (as per policy) since it was new. In Natty's Unity I could drag windows around and resize them with a 3-finger gesture, without clicking.

In Oneiric, this no longer seems to work. That's a shame; my trackpad and wrists are suffering as a result.

I've assigned Jason to the bug report because it's mostly likely an issue in the Unity code. To confirm that your device is working properly, please install input-utils and run:

$ sudo lsinput

Then attach the output here.

Thanks!
