I'm currently running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS with Unity on a relatively new ASUS Zenbook UX303-LB. I have been trying unsuccessfully to get gestures working for a good several weeks now, on and off, as I currently have NO gesture support. All I can do is tap 1 finger to click, drag 1 finger around to move the cursor, and use the physical buttons. I don't even have any of the gestures listed here that should supposedly work on any touchpad right out of the box (tested multiple times and confirmed).
I tried following the steps in the answers to this similar question, to no avail.
I also tried doing something similar to the first answer in this other (also similar) question - didn't help, but it did give me a message on boot telling me I don't have Synaptics drivers installed, which is what led me to discover I have a FocalTech touchpad, not Synaptics. I did NOT rebuild Unity from source, because that only (potentially) changes 3-4 touch gesture behavior, which I don't really care about.
I then proceeded to try and follow some of the steps from the Ubuntu wiki page I linked above, but they seem to be written only for Synaptics touchpads (and are 3+ years old).
In any case, this is what I get out of xinput list-props [my touchpad]:

This thing works like an absolute charm in Windows 10, so I know there isn't anything wrong with it. Anyone know what to do?
