<pre>I am having problems with my Touchpad Elantech on Acer Aspire E1-572G. I tried
both Ubuntu 16 and 17 (and also other Linux distros), but no luck. My problem
is that the gestures (two-finger tap for right click and two-finger scroll) are
actually working, but not in a smooth way. For example, on average, I have to
do the two-finger tap 2 or 3 times before I get it right, and I have to be VERY
careful to hit the pad with the two fingers exactly in the same time, other
wise it doesn't work. It's annoying and it slows me down a lot.
I just switched from Windows 10 and over there the touchpad gestures were a LOT
smoother, never had to do them more than one time. I'm wondering if there's any
possibility to use the Windows drivers on Ubuntu, or any other workaround.
Here's a video comparison of my Elantech touchpad on Windows 10 and on Ubuntu
17.10, to clearify what my problem is: <a href="https://youtu.be/L6SBWJpAT5A">https://youtu.be/L6SBWJpAT5A</a>
Scrolling is laggy and it doesn't always work, positioning the pointer for
small movements is difficult, and the two-finger tap for right click is almost
unusable.
Thank you for your help.</pre>
