Only Basic Multitouch works

[shadyabhi]

EDIT: I figured that I was using synaptics driver and not mtouch. (was a seperate file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d). If I enable mtouch and remove synaptics, touchpad stops working. First I will figure that out and then come for help here if needed.

Things that are working:

• One finger tap to left-click.
• Two finger tap to right click.
• Three finger tap to paste from PRIMARY_CLIPBOARD
• Two finger up/down scrolling in apps

I have checked by starting

$xbindkeys -n -mk

and I can see all the buttons 1,2,3,4 & 5 being displayed in terminal.

But, if I try three finger swipe, 4 finger swipe, nothing works.. No buttons are emitted. Nothing comes up in the terminal so my guess is it's not being detected.

My xorg.conf: http://sprunge.us/NZRc?bash
Xorg.0.log: http://sprunge.us/TWHW
Versions of packages installed: http://sprunge.us/ASYI
lsusb -v: http://sprunge.us/IbBI

Please note that I am using InputDevice instead of InputClass because when I tried to add MatchIsTouchpad" option and change toInputClass, my xorg.conf complained (line 8) as it asInputDevice` in it.

To enable pinch zoom, show desktop etc, at least I first have to detect & then only I can use xbindkeys.

Am I missing something obvious? Please tell me if you need any more info. Btw, I am running a Macbook Pro 7.1

Please read your log file. Xorg can't find the driver. Either you didn't install it or you installed it improperly.

@bluedragonx I have finally got it working. Please delete the issue as it won't be of any help to anyone.

@bluedragonx I just re-installed the driver & for some reason I had both synaptics and mtrack in my xorg.conf (One in /etc/X11/xorg.conf & /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ ).

But, I still have an issue. It doesn't detect 4 finger swipe. Everything works fine till 3 fingers though.

My xorg.conf.d directory: http://sprunge.us/UbKV?bash

I have the latest (git) version of mtrack installed.

Unfortunately I can't view sprunge.us as that website is blocked by the webfilters here.

How did you configure four finger swipe?

I am checking the detection using:

$xbindkeys -n -mk

I look at the terminal to see what buttons are emitted on different swipes.

You don't have four finger swiping configured in your xorg.conf. It is not enabled by default. See the readme. https://github.com/BlueDragonX/xf86-input-mtrack/blob/master/README.md
