I don't know if it is worth filing a bug report over yet, but I would at least try to contact some of the dev's working on it. I have not seen much discussion on two-touch devices on this list so I suspect that there are not a lot of people using it. In my experience, two touch is one of those things that people were drooling over a couple months ago but now no one I know is using it (even the Apple guys I know with the Macbooks and iPhones don't care). *shrug* I am not saying that it is bad or isn't useful to people out there, just that I don't know how much help you will get on just the user lists when there are so few people using it. I usually don't advocate talking to the devs ( as I don't want to bother them with trivial problems ) but they are probably the most likely to be able to help you. I would check to see who the Synaptics devs are and see if they hang out on a particular list / IRC. Then, if no answer, maybe send them an email directly. Good luck and have fun! ~Stack~ PS: Now watch as I find out a ton of people are using it on the list and it is just the tiny bubble of people I interact with that don't. :-D Haha! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
