Bug Description

Hi,

I asked a question here https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xinput/+question/668859 but no one seems to answer... So I try here

I can't make multitouch work with my yoga 720 convertible. At least not as expected. The touchscreen work, some gestures work but touchscreen is not able to handle multiple touch event unless I disable Gesture parameter.

xinput --list

I work with ubuntu 18.04 / Xorg / xinput. Prior to this version I was working with 17.10 / wayland. On 17.10 in order to make multitouch support more than 2 fingers at once I had to disable gnome gestures. Unfortunately, this is not working on ubuntu 18.04.

So I found a parameter for my touchscreen called Gesture (Gesture - Turns on/off multi-touch gesture events (default is on).)

By disabling this parameter for my touchscreen, multitouch is working as expected. But no more ... Gestures !

I think both should work together
