That should have said Mint 11 (x64) but it wouldn't let me edit lol

Absolutely brilliant, thank you!

I've got the 2 finger scrolling under Mint (x64), but am unable to figure out how to emulate the middle click - any ideas/help would be appreciated!

You don't need to install anything as far as I know. maybe you have to install "gsynaptics". maybe your touchpad's drivers are not installed.

Thank you very much for your fast answer... :) I've done it and it says "unable to find device SynPS/2 Synaptics Touchpad"

Do I have to "install" the touchpad??? (laptop Asus A53S)

Thank you!

I'm trying it on Xubuntu 11.04 and it works just fine.
Have you run the script in terminal and see if it works?

you don't need to open in in nautilus. in the terminal just type(without quote): "./your-file-name" (in yourcase "./mouse")
and you are good to go.
and then if you want it to be permanent you have to add it to your startup applications.

Hello, I'm very new at this, so I'm afraid I need an even clearer explanation... What I do is create an empty file, copy the 12 instructions, save it as "mouse" (without extension), close gedit, open a terminal, type "chmod +x mouse" and go to the window browser and double click in "mouse". it asks me if I want to excute in a terminal or normal and I click in execute. Nothing happens and my touchpad remains the same...

Thank you very much!

I haven't tested it in Mint 11 but it worked on 10. What seems to be the problem? What errors do you get?

For people having trouble making this stick after suspend/resume, you can put the script in /etc/apm/resume.d which will just run it each time you resume.

Well you, my good sir, made my day! A little cut and paste and I was two finger scrolling your web page without my pointer going on a screen wide joyride. ;)

Maybe its problem of Mint being RC. It works fine on Ubuntu 10.10

Whenever my laptop (running Mint 10 RC) suspends, 2-finger scrolling stops working. Are you guys having the same issue? How do I make it stick?

Thanks a lot! This is the feature that I missed most, coming from a Mac.

Running on MInt 9 on Toshiba Satellite L655, but pretty glitchy. NOt nearly as easy to use as it was in Windows 7. I edited some of teh values and it seems to work better, but I'm not sure

Great read! However, I had a difficult time viewing your post in Internet Explorer 8. Just wanted to bring that to your attention! Thanks.
