Gestures not working Yosemite Headless Mac Mini

Updated to 10.10.2 this morning and now I am already experiencing problems with my headless MacMini (home theater PC connected to HDTV). Yesterday all trackpad gestures were functioning properly. Now after updating only scrolling works in Safari, all other gestures such as swipe to previous or following page, pinch to zoom etc have stopped working?

Anyone have any idea how to remedy this irritating glitch?

Kind regards, Mark

Mac mini, OS X Yosemite (10.10), null

Thank you for your prompt reply. The problem is I am controlling the headless Mac Mini with my Macbook Air. So there is nothing to toggle in the Mac Mini as I am not using a separate bluetooth trackpad or mouse to control the Mac Mini. Opening trackpad preferences just has a spinning wheel searching for a device.

Do you have any other advice for me? Kindest regards, Mark

Having the same problem. Update 10.10.2 stopped most of the trackpad functions. The only thing that works is scrolling and of course tapping. The preferences I've already checked.

Any solution?

Regards

Tim

No mate, no luck and no response from a more knowledgeable poster I'm afraid. I do hope more people read this thread and we have a solution soon, it is very annoying to say the least.

Cheers, Mark
