    Hi, is anyone able to get 4-finger gestures working on any linux distro?
    I am running Zorin OS 17.2 and 4-finger gestures work the same as 3-finger gestures. I confirmed this by logging the trackpad events in evtest. “ABS_MT_SLOT” will show how many fingers are detected (value=0 is finger 1, value 1 is finger 2, value 2 is finger 3 and value 3 is finger 4).

    When running one of the commands below, I see that finger 4 (value 3) is never detected, while finger 3 (value 2) is:

    sudo evtest /dev/input/event6 | grep “ABS_MT_SLOT”
    sudo evtest /dev/input/event6 | grep “ABS_MT_SLOT), value 3”
    sudo evtest /dev/input/event6 | grep “ABS_MT_SLOT), value 2”

    Event: time 1731939359.648187, type 3 (EV_ABS), code 47 (ABS_MT_SLOT), value 2

    This means that 4-finger gestures will be treated as 3-finger gestures effectively.

    Do other distros/kernel versions face the same and is there a way to fix this?
