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.
