MacBook Pro Retina touchpad on Fedora 23
·1 min reading time
Fedora 23 is working great on my 13" MacBook Pro Retina but the Synaptics’s touchpad driver is lacking gestures and palm/thumb recognize support.
To enable something that can be called “gestures”, the mtrack driver can be installed and tweaked at our desire.
Since it’s not available already build, I wrote a spec that will download and build the rpm for you
$ wget https://goo.gl/89Fu0R
$ rpmbuild -ba xorg-x11-drv-mtrack-git.spec
$ rpm -ivh ~/rpmbuild/RPMS/xorg-x11-drv-mtrack*
Once done, uninstall the Synaptics driver:
$ sudo dnf remove xorg-x11-drv-synaptics
This
is my configuration, place it into /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-mtrack.conf.
Happy scrolling!
