Bug Description
On Jaunty, on a default installation, multi-touch functionality worked on my Asus Eee PC 1000HA's Touchpad. Now, on Karmic, the functionality is totally gone. Two finger scrolling, zooming gestures, etc. do not work at all. This feature is rather important to me, since I almost ALWAYS scroll using the two finger gesture instead of the scroll bar, and I see no reason why this functionality would be removed. Granted, I did install Jaunty using the .img file and I installed Karmic using the .iso file (which is ~300MB less, but there was no special .img version of the netbook remix. I would really like to see this fixed in a future patch, hopefully really soon.

I can confirm this on an Acer Aspire 4720Z laptop. The touchpad gestures/scrolling worked in Jaunty, but not after the upgrade to Karmic.
I suspect this is a bug with "udev", as it's now replaced "hal" as the hardware detecting service
