2 finger scroll on T400
Hi!
I was just trying to get two finger scroll and other multifinger gestures working on my new T400 notebook in Ubuntu 8.10, but didn't succeed.
The output of synclient -m also always shows me, that just one finger is detected.
Why is this the case?
Is the touchpad not able to detect more than 1 finger (I thought that all synaptics touchpad support that) or is it a software problem?
Is it solvable?
Thank you!

I'm not sure, but I think that's not possible.
I heard that some Netbooks have this possibility (EEE PC, MSI ...)

in fact it seems like it is possible for most synaptics touch pads. use forum search or google to get further information.
Pitfully newer firmware versions of synaptics touch pads have disabled multitouch support.
Maybe one day it will be possible to change the firmware. right now I have no information about that
