ALPS multitouch support is only semi-multitouch at this point. The
uTouch stack will does not work with semi-multitouch devices.

I am going to rewrite this bug to be about semi-multitouch support in
uTouch. I can't promise that we will add support, but at least it will
be documented and left open for someone to implement.

** Summary changed:

- ALPS Glidepoint not listed under geisview supported devices
+ Support for semi-multitouch devices in utouch

** Description changed:

+ Semi-multitouch devices are not supported by the X server and the uTouch
+ stack. It is possible to support them in theory, but the plumbing is not
+ there yet.
+ 
+ The original bug report below details the fact that utouch doesn't work
+ for ALPS trackpads, which are all semi-multitouch.

  During multitouch testing,  If you do not see your multitouch device, or if 
you see it but do not receive any gesture events, please open a bug by running:
