Hi all,
We have everything ready (almost) for the upload of the X server into
Precise. It includes X server 1.11 plus the input stack from 1.12. It
also includes a bunch of interdependent packages that would break if you
were only to update your X server. Here's the known issues with the PPA:
* No utouch-geis support, which means most of your gestures won't work
- Will be fixed by feature freeze
* Multitouch in Qt from indirect devices (e.g. trackpads) is broken
- Will be fixed in next Qt upload *after* we push these packages
* Qt is still building for armel, so don't test this on armel yet
* A security hole will kill your screen saver if you type
Ctrl+Alt+KP_Multiply
- Will be fixed in xkeyboard-config upload in the next couple hours
Notably, xserver-xorg-input-synaptics has a large patch added in today
for multitouch support. The X synaptics module is used for all
trackpads. Please test that your trackpad is behaving sanely.
We are mostly looking for blocker bugs right now (random X server
crashes, really obnoxious behavior, etc.). Please reply with any such
bugs you find.
Oops, I forgot to mention the packages are in ppa:canonical-x/x-staging.
The following should get you set up for testing:
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:canonical-x/x-staging
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get upgrade
I don't think you need to dist-upgrade for this as there shouldn't be
any new packages or packages needing to be removed, but I'm not entirely
certain.

Will any of these updates address cut and paste on a Mac touchpad ? It
appears to be impossible to select text without using an external mouse.
