    Hello all,

    quick question: how can I disable certain multitouch features of the X230's touchpad/ trackpad.
    When I use it under Fedora, I can't move the mouse when one finger lies on one of the touchpad buttons. Seems like the touchpad catches both touches and freezes the mouse or so.
    Although I like the scrolling by using two fingers, I guess that's not possible to keep one nice multitouch feature, right?

    So my question is, is there any way to disable multitouch on the touchpad of the ThinkPad X230 under Linux (specifically Fedora)?

    Thanks.

    Thanks.
    I looked at the config file and the site you provided but didn't see a possibility to archieve what I wanted.
