I have found a lot of posts on the Internet working with Apple Magic Trackpad on Ubuntu. I bought Apple Magic Trackpad 2 and seems like it is not recognized as a touchpad. I can do left click and cursor movements, but nothing else (not scrolling, no two-finger click, ...). Any ideas on how I can make it work?

There is a driver available for the Apple Magic Trackpad 2 on Github. Highlights from the README.md file:

  • robbi5 created a dkms package with the driver that is known to work with kernel 4.4.0-57-generic on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
  • Used this driver in combination with the mtrack-driver, to make use of the multitouch feature (e.g. 2-finger-tap for right-click, etc)
  • Right now the driver only works over USB. OP has submitted an official patch to linux-input.
