Well, for one thing, there is a video with the multi-touch gestering to be working on ubuntu on an ACER, I believe, but there is no clean, "this is how it works and can be installed" anywhere. Also, for my puproses, I don't realy care about the multitouch. I just need the touch screen to work conventionally.
