Clickpad not working properly

Question

I have a Toshiba M50-A11-L with a Clickpad.

When I put my finger on the Clickpad and click with the mouse and then drag it, it doesn't recognize my second finger.

I can't click and drag.

Update: The clicking works. But the acceleration is too linear. On Synaptics when i move slow the cursor dont go far. When i move fast the cursor is moving trough the whole screen. But with libinut the cursor alway travels the same distance no matter how fast i move with the touchpad.

How is this question related to Ubuntu? – usmanayubsh Jan 17 '16 at 18:43 — usmanayubsh, Jan 17 '16 at 18:43

You can install libinput instead of xorg-synaptics. It handles this type of cases better.

Another option is to use a newer version of xorg-synaptics. In some cases this kind of issues have been fixed.

But you did not mention the current version.

I intsalled libinput but i dont like the acceleration. It is so bad!!! Synaptics has muh better acceleration. – Oliver von Hartig Jan 17 '16 at 20:43
But what about the clicking? Acceleration can be tuned. – Pilot6 Jan 17 '16 at 20:53
