Ken,
I can't get multi-touch to work on my Dell XPS 12 with touch screen. It's
single finger only in Fedora 20. Ubuntu 13.10 kernels don't recognize the
touch panel at all. The convertible laptops with old school tablet pc Wacom
panels (like the Thinkpad X series twister) seems to have better driver
support, but they're stylus, not touch driven. At least one TriLUGger has
that setup working pretty well.
