Abnormal behaviour after installing in Ubuntu 16.04

jinan-zhou commented 4 years ago

Following #16 , I reverted ecfde9f and installed the driver in Ubuntu 16.04. However, after installation, the magic trackpad does not work properly. I can only move the cursor when keeping pressing. And the scrolling does not work at all. Does anyone have any ideas?

I would recommend updating Ubuntu. Since 19.04 it works out of the box.

I see the same problem on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. Pressing, I can move the cursor. Otherwise no cursor movement. Tried creating the two files listed in the README, /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-magictrackpad.conf and /etc/libinput/local-overrides.quirks and restarting the trackpad device. No change. Here is what I get from libinput list-devices:

Fixed by restarting the system. Now able to move cursor and two finger scroll! :tada: I imagine the Xorg server needed the restart for the configuration to apply.
