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.

+ Two-touch multitouch trackpads usually tell how many total touches are
+ on the device. If the trackpad reports three total touches, we can
+ emulate three touch gestures by following the movements of the two
+ reported touches. This requires the X server sending the details on the
+ number of touches, and the uTouch stack interpreting those details.

+ 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.
