Multi-Gesture touchpad in Acer Aspire One

[Matthias Apitz]

Hello,

I'm running 9-CURRENT and xorg-7.5 (from ports) on a laptop Acer Aspire
One D250 and all works as it should. 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;

as well on some other netpook I own (EeePC 900) a hit with two fingers
at the same time acts as pressing the middle mouse button; this does not
work with the Acer Aspire One, a nice feature I'm missing for cut&Paste
while writing stuff...

Any hints? Thanks

matthias

There's x11-drivers/xf86-input-synaptics (untested by me). Some config
notes at http://wiki.debian.org/DebianAcerOne and
