Multi-Pointer X Going Mainline

,----[ Quote ]
| Multi-Pointer X was developed by Peter Hutterer at the University of South
| Australia as part of his PhD project, with development work starting in 2005.
| Unlike some other implementations, Multi-Pointer X allows many existing
| applications to continue to function without any fundamental changes.

For Windows, this appears to be only a vapourware 'feature', never to be seen
any time soon in the boxed product (which is a mess). OS X doesn't even have
it announced in this vapourware fashion.

Multi-touch support for MPX [in Linux]

,----[ Quote ]
| MPX already supported multiple input devices. Which blows pretty much all
| assumptions in user interfaces (input) out of the water. Now I've gone one
| step further and added support for multi-touch displays. Have a look at this
| video...
