Let me know when it's available so I can test it. Is there a manual on how and what to test? I'm pretty much new with all of this, so any info would be awesome. Yesterday I did find this post: http://linuxg.net/ubuntu-13-04-touchpad-option-does-not-exist-error-fix/ After doing that I was able to use multitouch scroll and double tap with 2 fingers, but it's not that smooth yet. The touchpad is now added as AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint On 24-12-2013 2:04, Tommy Will wrote: > Hi Kevin, > > Thanks for you following this issue. > About the trackstick issue, although I still have not got the > feedback, I'd start preparing the new patch since it > does not have problem as far as my self testing. > > Hi Robert, > > Please wait and try my new patch later.
