I have a dell inspiron 5758. It has a trackpad that supports multitouch. This works well under windows 10 and knoppix 7.6 When mageia 5 starts, there is an message about detecting multiple trackpads. This makes some sense, because using the windows 10 device manager, both a HID compliant mouse and a PS/2 compliant mouse are displayed. With mageia 5, I can move the mouse cursor around. I can click on things with the 2 buttons. However, if I do something like click on a menu bar and try to move around a window, that operation fails. I have to attach an external mouse to be able to do that. Since I can do that with knoppix 7.6, I think it should also work with mageia.
Hi Jeff, thanks for your bug report. We need some more information. What is the output of: rpm -qa | grep x11-driver-input-synaptics Which files do you have in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ ? If there's a file with "synaptics" in the name, then what is its content?

I updated my laptop in the last week, and the problem has gone away. I consider the issue resolved.
Good news.
