Thank you so much for posting this simple fix!!!! I changed the line from Driver "wacom" to Driver "libinput" like you said. Now multitouch is working correctly in Kubuntu.

I have a Lenovo Flex 5 "14 (also known as the Yoga 520 outside the US) which also uses Wacom AES hardware. I could not get multitouch to work at all with the touchscreen. This was bad because multitouch allows me to easily zoom/move around the canvas when I'm drawing in Krita and also zoom and go forward/backwards in google chrome.

The touchscreen with the driver set to wacom driver is awful! In addition to no multitouch I couldn't even do simple scrolling smoothly. I agree that the "Wacom touchscreen class" should switch to "libinput" drivrt by default.

Who knows how many other Lenovo flex/yoga users this confused.
