Bug Description
Hello Team,
I have a acer aspire 1820ptz notebook with mosart touchscreen. dmesg states that the device is recognised as MosArt Inc. RMTP-MA957 and mapped to /dev/input/event5. I can see the event information with evtest when i touch on the touchpad.
However, the cursor is always hanging on the upper left side of the screen. It mostly reports Ry and Rz's. I have read about kernel patches etc. but is this still neccessary with your project? (Also ENAC says support is already built in kernel)
How can I help you / or you help me to make the multitouchpad working till Maverick?
tested on daily iso maverick ~18Aug.

Hi Axoin,
First, right now our utouch work isn't available by default as part of Ubuntu. We're sorting through the processes right now to do that. If you haven't installed the utouch meta package, I would do so first, then log out and back in. Then you hopefully can use the gesturetest program to see gestures:
$ gesturetest 0 0 0xffffffff
What worries me though is that you say you see events through evtest, but the cursor never moves. Can you capture the output of evtest and attach it here? It wouldn't hurt to attach a copy of /var/log/Xorg.0.log after installing utouch too.
Thanks
