I had to read up on the mtrack driver. Yes, from what I've been able to find it would work. Is it an upstream fork of xserver-xorg-input-multitouch? I'll have to ask my Macbook using friends to test this, because I only have an old Thinkpad. Unfortunately this also means I can't responsibly write Debian on Macbook documentation either. If git20110312 is really rc3 than this bug be closed, but if xserver-xorg-input-multitouch isn't depreciated (and replaced) by xserver-xorg-input-mtrack then I think our wiki would benefit from an explanation of when it's better (or necessary) to use one rather than the other. https://wiki.debian.org/SynapticsTouchpad A really nice document: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mac#Touchpad Configuration example for xserver-xorg-input-multitouch that is apparently feels very similar to OS X: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1334696&page=36&p=10557093#post10557093 Sincerely, Nicholas P.S.
