Hi!
I buyed today a toshiba l300-19j laptop, with synaptics touchpad.
I wanted to use multiple finger feature like on macosx.
It looks like everything is ok:
1. the kernel recognizes:
[ 231.424535] input: SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad as
/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input8
2. X.org recognizes:
(II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad"
(type: TOUCHPAD)
3. synclient claims two finger support:
synclient -l |grep VertTwoFingerScroll
VertTwoFingerScroll = 1
However, when I run synclient -m 100, the "f" column has only 0 or 1, no matter
with how many finger I touch the touchpad.
I have googled the whole day, I browsed the source, even read some
marketing stuff from synaptics website,
still no success.
I have found a hardware compatibility list:
http://web.telia.com/~u89404340/touchpad/compatibility.txt
I seems outdated, I do not see any Toshiba L300 model on the list.
I couldnt find any newer compatibility list, is such exists?
So my question is, how can I make sure, if it is a HARDWARE
LIMITATION, or some software lack/bug/anything?
Is there a reliable method to check if my hardware supports multiple
finger touch or not?
I read everywhere that newer synaptics touchpads should not have any problems.
Any idea is much appreciated!

If there is any more additional information you need, just reply, I

Im mainly interested to figure out if it is a hardware limitation (I
have two days left for this;)
Thank you in advance,
