I'm using Xubuntu 18.04.4 LTS and want to set up three finger scrolling (and four finger scrolling) on my laptop. I already have two-finger scrolling enabled.

While searching I saw other people needing to configure three finger to change other things except three finger scrolling. Am I missing something from Touchpad_Synaptics?

Synaptics reported the following values:

Synaptics Capabilities (347):   1, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1

These values mean (from left to right):

1: Device has a physical left button
0: Device does not have a physical middle button
1: Device has a physical right button
1: Device does support two-finger detection
1: Device does support three-finger detection
1: Device can configure vertical resolution
1: Device can configure horizontal resolution

Is there a config or a way to add three finger and four finger scrolling? Can someone point me in the right direction?

I have updated my question with links to similar things

  • IIRC the synaptics input driver supports detection of up to five fingers, but only tracks the positions of the first two fingers. A three-finger motion command wouldn't make sense then. – danzel Apr 10 '20 at 06:21
  • @danzel using three finger detection, others configure changing workspace and other stuff, if that can be done, there must be a way to do this also? – BluePie Apr 10 '20 at 06:52
  • And how did the others do it? If you find a reference, please [edit] your question and add a link. I can think of a lot of workarounds, but the input driver doesn't support it, and therefore you can't configure it to make it work. Run synclient in a terminal, it will list all configurable options of synaptics. The only three-finger-related options are tap and click. – danzel Apr 10 '20 at 07:16
