I have a Thinkpad T550 running Ubuntu 14.04. I had to use a newer kernel in order to recognize the Wacom touch screen device (see bug 1433444).

With the "wacom" driver, I experience the same as the bug report description: 1- and 2-finger touches work, but three- and four-finger gestures are not available. With the "evdev" driver, three- and four-finger gestures are available, but 2-finger gestures are gone.

The wacom driver, xf86-input-wacom, is supposed to pass 2-finger gestures up to X when they are disabled in the driver (see http://linuxwacom.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Multitouch#Disable_xf86-input-wacom_In-driver_2FGT_Gestures). I tried adding the Option "Gesture" "off" in 50-wacom.conf. With "Gesture" "off" in 50-wacom.conf, the three- and four-finger gestures are back, but the 2-finger gestures are still missing (same behavior as the "evdev" driver).
