Yeah, IIRC there are various proposals floating around.

multitouch in XI2 will probably have to wait at least for xserver 1.11.
Driver support likely at the same time.  Apps/toolkits, OTOH, I have no

to get MT data to clients.  Maybe it doesn't, and just handles gesture
recognition in the driver?
