Ok.
I just thought I'd report it because it worked before, and doesn't anymore.
Plus the hardware reported that it could detect 3 touches

Subject: [Bug 966619] Re: 3 Finger Touch and gestures no longer working

Hi Rishi,

You probably have a touchpad that tells us of only two touch locations,
but also tells us how many total touches are on the trackpad. When we
moved to the new uTouch architecture in Precise, we lost the ability to
support these types of devices.

I am modifying the state of this bug to become a task to handle two-
touch multitouch trackpads.

- This is no longer the case in 12.04.

+ Original Bug Report
+ ===================
+ 3 Finger touch support worked out of the box on my Dell XPS L501x in Ubunt 
11.10.
+ This is no longer the case in 12.04.
  Symclient -m 100 reports all 3 fingers detected. Even the synaptiks app 
reports 3 finger touch support.  It definitely worked fine in 11.10.
  Geisview reports "device touches: 2"

  Any suggestions?

  I know the hardware supports it, because it worked before.
