Package: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
Version: 0.14.6-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Hi !
At this URL:
http://lanpartei.de/~mirage/
You can find a patch that allows to switch to two finger scrolling when
pressing with a second finger while the first one is allready pressing
the
touchpad.
This features makes two finger scrolling much more easy to use since it
is not that obvious to press with both fingers at once in the correct
time required.. I can use two finger scrolling only with this patch.
I don't know if this has been sumbited upstream, but I would appreciate
to have it in debian !
