@pieist I've not had this issue on fedora or pop!os. Using a magic trackpad out of the box
@Twashe Indeed, it might be a function of the Synaptic driver or the actual physical hardware on non-apple trackpads. I'm using a Logitech keyboard on MATE and it's driving me nuts at the moment. Disabling all gestures including two-finger scrolling fixes it, but I don't want to do that.
@pieist pass through the usb? you'll need an additional external mouse
@Twashe Mmm, come to think of it a VM probably won't prove anything... the host MacOS environment is going to be handling the hardware.
