One major grief with the ntrig devices is the poor filtering of ghost
contacts. The ghosts fall on random combinations of X and Y from the
real contacts (x_i, y_i), such that (x_i, y_j) may become a contact for
arbitrary i != j. Running the mtview program (git clone
http://bitmath.org/git/mtview.git, cd mtview, make, ./bin/mtview
<device>) and putting two fingers diagonally on the canvas reveals the
problem very clearly. It would be great with a confirmation that this
problem persists on the T410s.

As a drastic possibility, it could be possible to convert the ntrig to a
non-mt driver, just reporting one position and concentrating on counting
the number of fingers properly. With such a solution, one loses the
pinch-to-zoom and rotate, but multi-finger tapping and dragging could
still work.
