This is actually done by the X synaptics input module. It's the defacto X touchpad driver and enables niceties like two finger scrolling and whatnot. You can either use it as is, use xinput/xorg.conf to manipulate its configuration, or switch to the X evdev input module which is more "bare" support. FYI, our gesture support in Maverick is based on a modified version of the X evdev input module. However, because the whole stack of desktop libs and toolkits won't support gestures in Maverick, you lose things like two finger scroll. Thus, we're going to leave the default X input module for the magic trackpad to synaptics in Ubuntu. > Once the discussions about if/how to tweak this code settle down, I'll > put together a patch to change the "down" and "last_up" logic as I > suggested earlier. I actually decided to tackle this to make the patches I'm writing easier. I'll be sending a new batch shortly.
