It seems like there's a lot of noise on this bug; for what it's worth, I'm only really interested in one of the things mentioned in #38 <https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/337935/comments/38>, "Can't click and hold with thumb while dragging with another finger.". I have a MacBook 5,3; on Karmic I have this problem and in the Lucid alpha the pointer jumps around so much in the live CD (even when I'm not touching the trackpad) that I couldn't do an install.

The pointer can move, and a physical left-click works, but that's it. I can not get tapping to respond as I could using the Mactel PPA packages with Intrepid (Ubuntu 8.10). I added the attached FDI policy file for the touchpad, and manually added the module bcm5974 to my /etc/modules file, however, Xorg is not loading or is not recognizing the touchpad policies. This file worked on Intrepid. The custom bcm5974-dkms package from the Mactel PPA provided support in Intrepid. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~mactel-support Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~mactel-support More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
