(Get the code!)
In reply to #276-#277.
I was mistaken on this one. Apparently the driver does nothing regarding enabling or disabling multitouch features on the trackpad. It's only a matter of the software down the line which interprets the packet data. Nothing, in fact, recognizes more than two finger in the alps driver.
Presently, as far as I am aware, the only multitouch sequences which are interpreted are two-finger scrolling and two fingers for right click. The former works. The latter maybe works, although I must admit that for me, it is such an unusual gesture that I miss it most often. Could be me, could be incomplete code as well.
In reply to #282:
Cool. Would you be so kind to send me the output of dmesg|grep psmouse please ? Thanks.
