bitjockey42 / 3 finger drag in Linux with xf86-input-mtrack.markdown
Last active October 9, 2016 03:03
Put this as /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-mtrack.conf

Missing your 3-finger window drag from OS X in Linux?

Fear not, for this fork of xf86-input-mtrack supports 3 finger drag.

You only need to add these lines to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-mtrack.conf:

     Option "SwipeDistance" "1"
     Option "SwipeLeftButton" "1"
 Option "SwipeRightButton" "1"

Ubuntu 16.04 using systemd-boot instead of grubby

You do not need a separate /boot partition unless you have an LVM setup (used in dm-crypt setups).

Run ubiquity -b to open the installer with the option of skipping grub installation (since we're using systemd-boot).

When you get to the screen "Ubuntu has finished installation" choose Continue testing.

Open a Terminal.

Chroot into the new system.
