Touchpad gestures don't work on Dell XPS 15 L521x
I'm trying to get multi-touch gestures working on my Dell XPS 15. Two finger scrolling works but three or four finger gestures do not. I know that the touchpad is capable of multi-touch gestures because it works fine in Windows. I've tried several things already:
- Installing touchegg from the repository
- Installing touchegg from source
- Installing Sputnik kernel and policykit updates from Sputnik PPAs
The first fails with a segmentation fault when run, the second gives errors during compile about missing files, and the third installed fine but nothing changed. Compilation errors can be seen here.
Solution 1:
Try this solution.
Install xserver-xorg-input-multitouch and xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-multitouch
sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-synpatics
It has solved touchpad issues on other brand name laptops, don't know about Dell.
