You do not need to install any drivers for Focaltech touchpads if you use kernels 4.1+.

That is why there is no package for Ubuntu 15.10 in focaltech-dkms PPA.

Your touchpad is fully supported and works OK. You do not need to do anything.

"Pinch to zoom" gesture is not implemented in unity desktop environment that is used in Ubuntu.

  • So there are no way to use it? Do you think in future updates? – dave Feb 08 '16 at 18:49
  • Maybe some other desktop environments support it. The gesture is supported by `libinput` but it should be supported by programs too. – Pilot6 Feb 08 '16 at 18:51
  • So not also in the future update. Do you know if gnome support it? what's libinput? thank you for your time – dave Feb 08 '16 at 18:56
  • Gnome does not support it either. You can search the web regarding libinput. But just installing libinput will not change anything. – Pilot6 Feb 08 '16 at 18:57
