Native Multi-Touch Support on Linux

Thanks to Phoronix for the heads-up on the Interactive Computing Laboratory's work adding multi-touch to the Linux Kernel 2.6.3. It's pretty cool and can be used today with NTrig, Stantum, and DiamondTouch touch screens and with computers such as the HP TouchSmart tx2.

A while back I asked if multi-touch on Linux was dead, well I'm happy to report that its a live and kicking. Nice work!
