If you are talking native X windows applications, then there is still
very limited support for multi-touch. I've been using a Lenovo s10-3T
netvertible, which, aside form needing an easier name, is a muti touch
tablet/netbook which has good linux support. It has two finger touch
support in the driver, but X11 doesn't really do much with that. That
being said, having single point touch is still quite fun and useful,
especially on a capacitive screen.
