Multitouch Gestures
Hello,
The trackpad driver works pretty well but is there a way to customize the gestures? i've been reading in other forums and there are some ways to edit the gestures using touchegg or ginn, but when I try to change them nothing happens.
I try to edit Ginn by changing the /etc/ginn/wishes.xml is there something else I should do?

Hello David,
I have Alienware 14 with synaptic touchpad running debian testing. I've spent quite a lot of time to make multitouch gestures work on my machine. I tried touchegg (didn't work for me), xswipe (worked, however gestures were not recognized well sometimes, cursor became leapy), but finally I just decided to live without it. However some time ago gestures support was added to gnome, AFAIK it requires wayland to work (at least on my machine it works well with wayland, and doesn't work at all with X). So, I switched to wayland (it is quite stable already, I hadn't any issues with it for months). Now I have: 4 finger swipe up/down switches between workspaces, pinches and rotations work in image applications. On the other hand, pinches doesn't work in chrome for example, I think some special handling is required in applications for it to work. So, my conclusion is - gnome gestures are not perfect, but they work well, and they become better and better with every version. And it's definitly my best expirience with touchpad multitouch gestures on linux.

I own the new Dell XPS 13 and I made gesture work with Ubuntu 16.04 by using touchegg. What I can do with my config:
I pasted the configuration here, you need to put it into ~/.config/touchegg/touchegg.conf.
