4 finger back and forward not working on Dell XPS 13.

[hisbaan]

Hi,

I just switched to a Dell XPS 13 9300 and I'm using the same config as I was on my 2015 MacBook Air. The 4 finger swipe to go back and forth in a browser. From what I've seen the dell trackpad does support multi-touch gestures in windows. I even have three-finger gestures working properly but four finger ones just won't work. I'm running Arch Linux and installed it from the AUR.
