Hey guys,
To cut to the chase, I have an ACER Aspire 8735G-6502, a fairly new model. I’m having issues configuring the multi-gesture to the touchpad to do any of the gestures. In fact when more than one finger is placed on the pad, the pointer flies around the screen in a random pattern. Does anyone have advice on either the configuration of the gestures, or a way of disabling any gestures and just having it be a single digit (classic) touchpad. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys.
You can use synclient to change the settings.
Also, if you really want to set anything up when X starts, you need to edit the HAL policy file for it.
Any guides specific to my type of touchpad? (Multi-gesture). I checked out synclient. It was a little confusing.
Yeah. So was the thread on two finger tap = middle click. A simple how-to would be nice. 
There are so many parameters one can set on the touchpad (it is much more when compare to simple mouse). I don’t use or understand all of them. I hardly use 4 or 5 of them.
