Nothing here about multifinger detection! I think it is the kernel
driver not supporting this for your touchpad. Reread the kernel messages
from Jürgen, he, as well as others, including me, _do_ see multifinger
detection in our kernel messages. And which kernel we use, does not
matter. I compiled my kernel 2.6.2 with standard options, to try the
kernel first. I only changed the ext2/3 filesystems and the IDE ATA
support from (M) to (*) to make sure I didn't accidentally disable
things like various drivers I need. Maybe worth a try?
