The laptop has a touchpad which > says about itself on a sticker 'Multi-Gesture' with some picture of > using two fingers, for example for scrolling up and down; is this > supported somehow in Xorg; I have a Multi-Gesture sticker on my Acer Aspire 5741-333G32Mn Model No. NEW 70 + Win 7 Home Prem OA, It looks to me ( speculating) from curved arrows as if for eg picture rotate ? (Maybe similar to dual finger shrink & expand/ zoom on some Mac) I havent put BSD on my Acer just yet, so just the Win it came with. ( No idea what X support might be, but if by chance your MS-Win is deleted, I could try what my mouse does with Win, except I've no idea what MS software to try the mouse With, so would need someone to tell me that. ) I googled & found in German http://www.bizuweb.com/multi-gesture-touchpad-auf-dem-acer-aspire-one-a150/ Summary: Writter downloaded a driver & it didnt zoom. Pointed to page in English: http://www.mydigitallife.info/enable-multi-touch-gesture-finger-scroll-momentum-and-chiralmotion-on-synaptics-touchpad-in-windows-7vistaxpserver/ Enable Multi-Touch Gesture (Finger Scroll, Momentum and ChiralMotion) on Synaptics TouchPad in Windows 7/Vista/XP/Server ... Synaptics TouchPad ... "for marketing reason, Synaptics official standard drivers for most Synaptics TouchPads does not support multi-touch Synaptics Gestures. Synaptics' drivers lock gesture features on all non-supported OEM notebooks and laptop PCs, except for certain gadgets such as ASUS EEE PC. So multi-touch is disabled even though touchpad hardware does support them." (Sounds like most MS customers get their hardware crippled by the driver unless they pay more ) For us I guess echo 'boot_verbose="yes"' >> /boot/loader.conf ; reboot ; dmesg | grep -i synaptics Then web search eg x-org for more synaptics driver info after ?
