    I have a laptop with a clickpad - a touchpad with integrated buttons. When I use Ubuntu, I can't click-and-drag or use multitouch gestures. This is a lot worse than it sounds... Are there any solutions or drivers available?

    What does your touchpad control panel say?

    What type of touchpad do you have? Brand/model or series?

    It's an HP ENVY 14. I don't know the exact model number, but I don't think it matters. :)
