Yes, mtrack driver forked from multitouch.

The multitouch driver can not set detailed settings compared with mtrack.
I don't have a Thinkpad, but I am using this driver on my Macbook.

By the way, as Debian 9 was released, I plan to immediately upload RC
3 to unstable.
Please contact me if you want to use this in stable. I will upload
this to backports.

So 1.0~rc2+git20110312-2 is equivalent to upstream's rc3 and includes
these six commits?

I had to read up on the mtrack driver.  Yes, from what I've been able
to find it would work.  Is it an upstream fork of
xserver-xorg-input-multitouch?  I'll have to ask my Macbook using
friends to test this, because I only have an old Thinkpad.
Unfortunately this also means I can't responsibly write Debian on
Macbook documentation either.

If git20110312 is really rc3 than this bug be closed, but if
xserver-xorg-input-multitouch isn't depreciated (and replaced) by
xserver-xorg-input-mtrack then I think our wiki would benefit from an
explanation of when it's better (or necessary) to use one rather than
the other.

A really nice document:

apparently feels very similar to OS X:

Current installed vetsion is 1.0~rc2+git20110312-2, not 1.0~rc2.
This version includes following commit:

We can use xserver-xorg-input-mtrack instead of xserver-xorg-input-multitouch.
Could you use xserver-xorg-input-mtrack?

Are these features available using another driver?  Given how I've
seen Macbook powerusers use their touchpads, four finger swipes are
fairly important.  Also, what is the severity of missing XINPUT 12
support?
