I guess those of you that run Ubuntu Linux natively on the newer Apple
laptops will be certainly beta testing for Ubuntu 10.10 - they're
working on supporting the Apple multi-touch devices.

As one who's decoded a USB device protocol and built drivers for it,
this sounds like a pretty fun project.  Using the OSX PacketLogger is
rather primitive but it works. I prefer decoding USb with wireshark on
Linux, but if the device didn't have an existing driver, you'd have to
go with whatever platform already works.

Anyone have the device that supports this driver and want to try it out?
 I might have to get a standalone Magic Trackpad or Magic Mouse to try
some of this out with my desktop.  It'll be neat to see what the ubuntu
desktop uses the swipes and stuff for.
