Comment 23 for bug 633225

I read the whole bug replies/concerns/request. So let me get it straight..
@Chase: Are you suggesting once this is done, notebook users with normal Synaptic touchpad would be able to use their Ubuntu desktop like MacOs? I mean pinching, rotating, sliding gestures?
That would be great... I have been craving such functionalities ever since I saw them on my friend's Mac book. Also on that topic, what makes Synaptic touchpad capable of MT different from a "multi touch" device that gesturetest and other utouch utilities recognize? I mean is there actually a functionality difference or just at kernel level?
