GNOME issue with gestures

Hello, I recently installed both Vanilla GNOME and Ubuntu GNOME on my Linux Mint machine lately to try out the gestures, but they don't seem to work on my computer's touchpad. I tried the three and four finger swipes, but they don't work. I tried disabling tap to click. Still nothing. The model is HP Pavilion dv6t-6c00, with Beats Audio, 8 GB RAM, no AMD Graphics, and came with Windows 7 Home Premium preinstalled. (Also, GNOME just doesn't look like how modern GNOME screenshots look, the top right menu looks very different.) Any help would be appreciated. If you reply here, please ping me. thetechie@enwiki: ~/talk/ $ 17:59, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

More info: I am using Wayland and a Synaptics touchpad, which should meet the requirements. GDM3 is also set as the default display manager on my computer. thetechie@enwiki: ~/talk/ $ 21:01, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Never mind, I figured it out. My touchpad doesn't support gestures. *oh well*

Resolved
