Hi
my touchpad works fine except that I am not able to perform tasks on vertical 3/4 fingers swipe or pinch gestures.
3/4 fingers horizontal swipes work fine.
Already tried : fusuma, touchegg, gesture. Always the same problem. So I think I’ll stick with ‘gesture’ unless imperious reasons.
“libinput debug-gui” show the gestures are recognised.
First what I’m playing with :

The faulty touch jump error is annoying but I understand that one have to live with what one can do nothing about.
On the libinput-gesture github page there is talk of _internal command instead of xdotool. I have wmctrl installed, but the “_internal” syntax is completely alien to me.
Then, dunno if it’s related, here is what happens when I hit enter on “xinput list-props 10 | grep Capabilities” command :
Hope I’ve been thorough, first post ever.
Thanks for all guys, you all saved me from a lot of tight spot. But that particular issue I am unable to solve with all there is here or on arch forum.
Hope someone got an idea.
