Hi, I recently arrive from years of MacOS use and would like to add 3 finger workspace swipe.
My notebook is a Dell 15R with a Synaptics touch pad and ELAN Touchscreen.

Touchscreen is working out-of-box for:
1 finger press and drag to move window
3 finger touch to show grab handles
4 finger swipe left/right to reveal launcher (if the dock autohide is enabled)
4 finger tap to open dash

Touchpad is working for two-finger scrolling.

I have tried ginn, but it is not working with 13.10 (there is a opened bug already).

Could someone point me to updated info on how to enable 3-fingers in my touchpad ?

I'm having the same problems, on a Dell XPS 12 9Q33...any progress?

Edit: Looks like it may be an upstream bug...at least for me, touchscreen recognition is making the computer think the touch pad is normal
