Hi mbuess, thanks for report

No, Touchégg will run with any touchpad compatible with uTouch.

I suppose that you are using (K)Ubuntu 10.010, please, edit the Touchégg 
configuration to test actions with other gestures:

$ mkdir $HOME/.touchegg
$ cp /usr/share/touchegg/touchegg.conf $HOME/.touchegg/touchegg.conf
$ gedit $HOME/.touchegg/touchegg.conf

And tell me if is a problem with actions or gestures please.
Greetings!

hey jose,
i already tried with standard touchegg.conf- but finally i suppose my touchpad 
is not supported by utouch- maybe it depends on the touchpad driver- which is 
evdev at the moment.
i use ubuntu 10.10.
what i really want to see one day is three finger swap support for asus eeepc 
under ubuntu.
keep on your great work!
greetings

i did start it from console- as i thought, the max it recognized was 3 finger 
tap- no 3f swap or 4 finger- i think its a driver problem.
before i used to run it with synaptics, i had the same support already build in.
so i will mark this issue as solved.
thanks anyway and keep on!

OK
I run ubuntu 10.10 on Asus eeepc 1000h with buildin elantech trackpad.
i installed the .deb v0.1 from touchegg
changed the driver from "synaptics" to "evdev" in the file 50-synaptics.conf 
found in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d

after it looked like this

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "touchpad catchall"
        Driver "evdev"
        MatchIsTouchpad "on"
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
EndSection

then restarted and manually started touchegg alt-f2, "touchegg"
or start from terminal- so you can see the recognized finger taps
it worked, but:
sadly the evdev driver didn't support more than 3 finger tap, so i had no 
improvement to the synaptics driver

thanks
